Very beautiful and expressive! Lovely voice.

It seems to be a hard piece to sing without extreme facial expressions. But forget about what you see--it's the expressiveness in her voice, the willingness to share, that's so compelling, to me.

Julie was my voice teacher at Iowa State. She sounds quite good. (I'm more of a fan of the Ruckert Lieder, but this is a wonderful set, and a wonderful song.)
