  • A beautiful rendition but I still prefer Klever Kaffs version which to me has a little more depth, incidentally Kath was born 10 minutes from where I live and the Kathleen Ferrier memorial garden is on the same stretch of road in Higher Walton, Preston, I visit both quite often.

  • Oh thanks for this! I have her curious, too fast recording transposed up to D major, in which key the piece simply doesn't work. This is the stuff, I can forget that other one and enjoy Dame Janet's superb singing and artistry again!

  • Totally Superb!

  • This woman gets through to my brain and heart.....Just standing there making Heavenly Music for us! ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT! Again thank you for the posts!

  • The best Orfeo ever :) , I think it was difficult for her to sing it in static after played it on stage as she did ! <3

  • Oh to be able to see and hear her NOW!  No fancy sets or costumes.....just a gift from Heaven is Dame Baker and her magnificent voice! Let's bring back the RECITAL....Miss Horne is working on it! Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting this.

  • simply simply beautiful

  • Couldn´t agree more with everything said here. Everything is in place, nothing

    missing. Wonder what the ensemle are, English Chamber Orchestra, St.Martin in

    the Fields? Love the English tradition in classical interpretation.

  • Sheer beauty of perfection is her line from Orfer

  • La sublime Janet! Her voice was a great gift, so unusual and distinctive – exquisite!
