Astrid Varnay was the ultimate singer/actress! How wonderful that YouTube can bring us such magnificent documentation on her art. The heartbreaking violin referred to is actually the entry music for Jenufa's following scene, but comes when we are still mesmerized by the impact of Kostelnicka's outcry.

This is certainly one of the best performances of any aria I've ever seen. Such dramatic immediacy and intensity from Varnay. And she can deliver the goosebumps at such an incredible volume without sacrificing the sheer, steely beauty of her voice. Her final "geboren" would resound within me and haunt me forever were it not for that utterly heartbreaking violin -- the unexpected fragility --Kubelik brings in at 3:54. Sublime is hardly an adequate adjective for this performance.
