Oh, I goofed again! It's spelled TIMBRE! Not TAMBER! Okay here it is - the spelling is 'timbre' and it means "tone color" (like silvr94 said, this is the French and English rendering of the definition). Oh, but don't forget - it's pronounced 'tamber'. Good grief!!

@silvr94 I'm sorry silvr. You are so right. I type too fast for my own good. We all know it's spelled 'Tamber', yes? I should have yelled, 'Tiiiiimbbbbeeeer', like l had to fell the tree for firewood! My typos are awful. Scold me good!!

@hitomusic I don't see a tree anywhere! Haha! Or you mean timbre (there is no "American" spelling to this word - it's French!!)

Gorgeous!!!

@ZsaZsadoll Sorry, what did you say? Thanks.

@hitomusic Yes, perhaps, yet i never knew an artist who sang so much IN her body, who showed so much how physical the act of singing is, how the voice is really a musical instrument, which much be practiced and played again and again. As effortless as the result may sound, if you watch her, you can see the physical effort. See her Vissi D'Arte in German, even better! The pianissimo at the end is more luxurious, more subtle, more meaningful.

that orchestral ending is so cheesy :)

Thanks for for posting this gem! I am a Della Casa fan. It is interesting to hear a German singer known for her Strauss and Mozart singing to undertake this role. Although she lacks that italianate sound and expressivity, she has beautiful tone and radiates a very youthful spring of feminity.

Her voice is incredible. The tone, the timber. Her voice has the most fabulous fairytale magic to it. It's like fairytale come into being. Her voice has luster. It removes you from your body; an out of body experience.
