Schubert - Ave Maria - Deanna Durbin

Deanna Durbin, at age 18, singing Franz Schubert's masterpiece. Here is what Schubert had to say about this song, in a letter to his father:

"My new songs from Scott's 'Lady of the Lake' especially had much success. They also wondered greatly at my piety, which I expressed in a hymn to the Holy Virgin and which, it appears, grips every soul and turns it to devotion."

Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

Holy Mary,

now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Sorry to hear about her passing. She now sings with the angels and I will continue to listen to her powerful voice for as long as I shall live!

I was spending the day with my sister in hospital for cancer during Christmas with five other ladies. A group of carolers came to sing for the ladies and asked for a request. No one answered; so I said Ave Marie. They sang it beautifully and I still tear up thinking of those six women. Deanna always made me cry from the beauty of her lovely voice. I am happy she lived a long life. I liked her enormously.

Столько исполнителей у этой Аве Марии , что можно подумать что это гимн для всех времён и народов и что оно лучше Лунной сонаты .
