what the hell is a real music lover? the only job of music is to express an idea feeling or energy. dont assume that opera is the only form of music because you dont like it. the voice is not limited to style or taste. i love dame kiri, she s probably one of the best sopranos in the world. However, dont judge other genres because you dont feel what they try to project. its not your job to do so. is your job to listen and react.

I agree. I do love Dame Kirite Kanawa's voice but the best rendition of these vocalises is certainly Anna Moffo's!

[Hercules Raphael Olimpio]

I LOVE IT!

HOLY CRAP

Visibly not one of her best renditions. She seems disconnected from the music entirely. Anna Moffo's version RULES. But I love Dame T.K.'s talent of course.

ahead of its time. He anticipated Morricone and all the avant-gardists with their exaltation of the pure, bodily and non-verbal voice. Deeply enjoying a post-romantic orgasm

Rachmanov is the type of guy who can write melodies that seem to be talking to you.
