  • I had no idea to this day what those two italian ladies were singing about. Id like to think they were singing about something so beautiful you it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because you can't understand it. I tell you those voices soared, higher and farther that anything ever had in our dim little place, it seemed to make the walls vanish, and for the briefest of moments, every last man at shawshank felt free.

  • Thumbs up if you found this through the greatest film of all time...

    The Shawshank Redemption?

  • I like this but I can't help thinking it has too many notes.

  • Man is not just mud and dust. He is capable of great flights in far away worlds of unknown, unspeakable beaty. Yes, music is a revelation. And Shawshank was a great movie. It was indeed about freedom and untouchable, immortal beauty. Thanks, folks!

  • @Rhopoe I wouldn't go so far as to say i don't get her, but Bartoli is far and away the more exceptional for me too.

  • :12. sur l'air .. si belle. mon cœur se serre à cette partie.

  • So gorgeous. I wish the Met released this on DVD.

  • I listen to this when I go trail running and it's the closest thing I'll ever have to a religious experience

  • How often does the mezzo- outshine the star soprano? Here is an example. In the end, I find Bartoli a more adept musician. Fleming almost always sounds either passionless, or exaggerated. (I mean, I just don't get Renee– if any one can help me with that, by all means… I have the same misunderstanding of Birgit Nilsson– Help me see [hear] what others can!)

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOZART

  • @ALEXSTEPHEN13 I DID find this through the film The Shawshank Redemption. When I heard it, I knew I had to find out what it was. Glorious!

  • The Shawshank Redemption brought me here
