Johann Sebastian Bach, Magnificat in D major, BWV 243
9. Aria (contralto): "Esurientes implevit bonis"
Contralto: Hertha Töpper
Münchener Bach-Orchester: Karl Richter
Recorded in Munich, Musikhochschule, February and April 1961
(Dedicated to my beloved daughter, Maria Alba, on her 13th birthday).
At least a decent recording, not done by stupid countertenors and mezzos that are not able to finish the phrase without breath. Bravo.

Isn't the guy like he was just about to reach for her breast? (is he??) Lovely is the music anyway, it's just perhaps her voice does not suit it well. It's a melody too sweet to her singing, at least to me. However, cheers.
