I think Aafje Heynis has sung in the church music festival in Kristiansand, Norway sometime during the seventies. She had a Norwegian parallel in the wonderful Astrid Hellesnes Hukvari (1937-1989), whose career was interrupted by illness and an early death. Both these singers seemed to have a direct contact with the divine spheres.



Aafje Heynis est une des plus grandes contraltos du siècle!

This is great! so pure and humble. Just how it has to be. PERFECT! Musicaly and also techniquely.
In my opinion her voice is even better than Ferriers.
