Wow this rendition is one of the bests!

Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing countertenor ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration. Unbelievable!

What? Yours or mine?

So jazz has dynamism and strong sense of rhythm, does it. Well I find most jazz to be the same sounding, boring, meandering, going-nowhere twaddle! My vision of hell would be having to sit through jazz playing on a loop, whereas I am astounded at the sheer genius of any classical composer. What an idiotic comment!

Agree the sound is awful, it really does not do her superb voice or this sublime aria any justice at all.

How people confuse a refusal to accept WRONG with shallowness is a sign of true "shallow-mindness."

i suggest you learn to read then, some history may help, when listening to classcial/baroque, understanding where the songs are coming from, period-wise, who wrote them, the stories/ideas they convey. jazz is a different philosophy of music. with baroque you arent just listening to a tempo vibrate through you, you are hearing stories that you may not hear in jazz, like a dead knight's corpse protected by his hunting hawk from the ravens, waiting for his lady to claim his body, stuff like that :)
