  • To sll who post negative things on the character of Ms. Te Kanawa all I would like to say is that a very close and dear friend of mine knows her and has said that he has never encountered a sweeter more generous singer. He describes her as a simple lady who treats everyone with warmth and respect. I have never met her but I believe my dear friend. There is no denying that her voice was (is) beautiful and she gave it her all.

    I hope we all can aspire to give so freely of ourselves too. Thanks.

  • Jenkins? Ha. Talk about a fake singer who needs a mike. Westenra isn't any better. Kiri had a REAL career, around REAL voice and REAL talent. She WORKED for what she has, FAR more than any little talentless hack handed a career because of her looks.

  • @elisarig Well if you ever meet her tell her that I am a fan of hers and even mentioned her in my book "New York's Opera Society". I also saw her in Warsaw in 2006 and was very impressed by her even more than I thought I would be. I also wrote an article about this concert if you wish to read it please google "Truvianni,Te Kanawa".

  • @BeauTenor you are right in everything you say only I would say that Kiri stil has a great voice

  • Bellini, for me the most interesting composer for the soprano voice... supported by a mere gossamer of sound from the orchestra... the sign of a truly great soprano is to dominate this music. Might I just say...Drame Kiri nails it... extraordinarily emotive, touching, empathetic and frankly heart breaking...

  • HA HA she almost scared the crap out of me at 2:09. What a pitch!!

  • @Gobbi2007 Love the Maiden, love Kiri! What's to not love? It's all music! :D

  • Emotion and technique, what else can we ask of a soprano, but to really, honestly sing? Dame Kiri Te Kanawa has gifted us that. Thank you Kiri!

  • Gracias por el video!.

  • A beautiful voice and excellent technique, but little understanding of how to sing bel canto.

  • @elisarig bonsoir, il suffit de l'écouter ou de la regarder pour voir toute les qualités decette dame

  • listen to the Beverly Sills version...extraordinary! I am a big Te Kanawa fan as well :-)
