I still say that the guy fishing with her is her son.

At first, I thought so but then I saw earlier footage of her son and it doesnt seem to be the same person but people change theres a pic in the gallery of both of them under personal>family life - take your conclusions.

What a great biography! What year did it air?

[thecelticinme]

It was filmed in 2006 and aired in 2007.

The best there is!

[thecelticinme]

Yes, she is!

[kazrickles]

Ah, the wonderful Stephen Barlow....how lucky she is to make music with him!

[noisemaker17]

I was so inspired by her inner strength and determination to go against all odds in life. She's brought about more healing by her voice than she realizes. She's lovely!

At least one part of this was filmed in October 2005. I was there when the O Mio was filmed in Iceland and that was probably when the fishing was also filmed. The camera was just to the right of me and I wondered why they were filming...

Beautiful job Maestro Barlow.

Great to see our dear friend and colleague Stephen Barlow.

Could the guy fishing with her be her son?

Spirit of the Arts -- Kiri Te Kanawa -- A Passion for Life was the first video added to my Favorites when I first joined YOUTUBE. I am very grateful to my new friend thecelticinme for sharing this insightful documentary on the life Dame Kiri Te Kanawa with her devotees across the pond. This unique program has allowed the viewer to see Dame Kiri's multi faceted life and as an added bonus it is presented in her own inimitable words, beautiful songs and of course that lovely accent.
