Eileen Farrell is here both passionate and tender, as well as sensitive to every nuance of text and musical phrase. She achieves this with complete vocal mastery. Farrell was indeed a great performer - and really adaptable too. Have you heard her sing show music?

Yes, paul, and I am going nuts trying to find the wonderful "Here I Go Again" album. Her voice adapted to ANYTHING.

Thanks for the visit and comment. C

Farrel had a rich, completely feminine voice and she commands our pity and fear as Desdamona with under- stated nuance and genuine emotion! She sings with ease and authority as we kneel beside her in the tender and prayerful Ave Maria. Her celestial singing evokes thoughts of Heaven! Thank you for sharing the supreme vocal art of this great American soprano!

Wow!  You said it so much better than I ever could. Thank you. I am in awe of your critique. xx Claudia (In other words, you hit the nail on the head!)

I would say you have a very good ear; you certainly got it on how extraordinary she is.
