I love this version of this aria! Her voice is oddly perfect for Amor's quirky personality. I read the review in OperaNews magazine, and they said she had no center of pitch. But i loved her interpretation! She makes amore totally cute with both her voice and her actions!

Maybe, but I like her voice so much that, for all I care, she could be constantly off pitch, it would still sound lovely. :)

@hillevifan I don't hear this lack of center of pitch.  I hate when singers use that tired horse to hide the fact that they don't care for the tone or timbre, but are too scared to say that. "She doesn't sing in tune." It sounds rather in tune to me.

I cannot wait to see her sing Mahler's Monumental 4th Symphony in Kansas City. She has such a lovely voice.
