Listen! Here is what happens. As singers, when we age, there comes a point where the voice cannot get any better, but begins to regress. It is called aging. Sure she is not the powerhouse she once was, but I think that for where she is in life, she sounds pretty darn great!!! I can only hope that my technique will be even a bit as good as hers when I get older.

Impossible, the pianist David Galloup died in 2000 from throat cancer , I will say it took place between 1997 and year 2000

This is Jessye singing the same song at her best:

Yikes, the singing is barely in tune.

D'accord, godivapaw...

Eh, quando la viola la suona un violinista...

David Golub on piano? Passionate performance--would love to know when and where this was taped.

[TerentiaWillsomethin]

@artbowl123: sorry for "commenting" 4 months later, but in Lied, Jessye sang this way, not with more sound, especially in a mezzo range and in this Brahms ensemble. She is not "voiceless", I find it appropriate to this repertoire (even if her portamenti are a bit too much for me).

[artbowl123]

he started badly, she is too slow, voiceless compared with the great singer she once was... this must be 2000 or after.
