The most beautiful rendition of Ave Maria I've ever heard

Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's pleading
from these rocks, stark and wild,
my prayer shall be wafted to thee.
we shall sleep safely till morning,
though men be ever so cruel.
o Maiden, see a maiden's distress,
O Mother, hear a suppliant child.

Ave Maria, undefiled!
When we upon this rock lie down
to slumber, and they protection covers us,
The hard stone will seem soft to us.
If Though smilest, the scent of roses will float
Through this murky cavern,
O Mother, hear a child's petition,
O maiden, 'tis a maid that calls!

Ave Maria, Maiden pure,
the demons of the earth and air,
drien forth by thy gracious glance
cannot stay here with us.
we will camly bow to fate
Since they holy comfort hovers over us;
Mayest though be favourably inclined to the maiden,
To the child that pleads for her father!

German lyrics which Ive been moaned into putting uo, enjoy.

Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild,
Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen,
Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild
Soll mein Gebet zu dir hinwehen.
Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen,
Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind.
O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen,
O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! Unbefleckt!
Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken
Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt
Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken.
Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen
In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft,
O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen,
O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft!
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! Reine Magd!
Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen,
Von deines Auges Huld verjagt,
Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen,
Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen,
Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht;
Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen,
Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht.
Ave Maria!

MY TEARS ARE FOR MY MOTHER AND FATHER IN HEAVEN THEY BOTH WERE LISTENING WITH ME !

[alan patterson]

Very good,but no better than a lot of other sopranos.

[harryandsimba]

The poster thinks that Sissel's version is better,in other words comparing both

versions.

Why couldn't you have worked that out yourself?

Please, How can you not hear that this isn't Callas' voice???? Callas has never even sung Schubert or for that matter anything in German nor she has ever recorded any art songs in any languages. This is Barbara Bonney and the voice is completely different. Sure, there are some fakes on the internet where people post this video with the title of Callas, but it's still Barbara Bonney's voice.

[jewelmarkess]

What exactly does Sissel have to do with this video? This is Barbara Bonney singing, and yes, it says so in the description just read it. Barbara Bonney's voice is very different, she is a Lieder/opera singer, and she is very famous in this repertory.

In accordance with the time and the place and their capacity to hear truth and comprehend it as truth, people have found truth in prior prophets of God. The promised Comforter was to lead us into all truth and did so. All truth is this: Truth is relative to the time and the place and the capacity of the hearer to comprehend. Thanks for asking such a sincere and excellent question.
