   She’s really just ok. Plenty of lyrics’ and coluraturas’ that can blow her away and not use a microphone or rely on electronic enhancement.

   My dear god, Steve, it’s not often that I trouble to say “thank you” for something. Thank you.

   As for Baruch’s comment, well yes, there are doubtless many more technically able sopranos out there. But it seems as if I’ve been waiting years for a voice such as this, where she just sings it with feeling and beauty, and doesn’t need to push for vocal tricks or too much vibrato. Amazing!

   Thanks again,
   Rich.

   That’s been one of my favorites since my teens. A local radio station has an Ave Maria competition every year. Listeners send in their favorite versions and the station plays one per day for a few weeks before Christmas, and then they vote.

   Andre Rieu is another favorite. Good call.

   It’s just a great song, more than anything, so don’t forget to appreciate Franz Peter Schubert (of “Unfinished Symphony” fame) as the genius who wrote it, and hundreds of other songs in his short life (1797-1828)–“a form,” says my New American Desk Encyclopedia, “he raised to unprecedented heights of expressiveness and virtuosity”. Amen.
