  • I love this! It's charming how the first couple passages sound exactly how she speaks/sounds in interviews!

  • @pedrofribeiro she was a little out of her comfort zone, but was able to produce a solid F natural in the 6th, if you noticed it was a little shaky, or trembly her voice was 'leaning/gravitating' towards the semi-tone lower {E6}, this vicinity is very difficult for most singers because the voice will tend to go flat, and land on Eb, instead of an octave's central semi-tones: the F and F#

  • That was simply amazing.....That was the first time I have heard her sing a high F....It was perfect! Her voice had such "ping" in this performance. Thank you so much!

  • Arman, I simply have no words to thank you enough. Such few time after the request! =)

    The greatest rendition of the "ultimate" aria. Kathy was on fire!

    Thanks again,

    Pedro.
