So utterly moving! I understand that this lady's nature was as beautiful as her voice. This shows through in the thoughtful accompanying montage of photos. Thank you!
I was brought up in a children's home in Harpenden. Unlike the hell that other kids went through elsewhere, we had Sister Ethel Smith. One of the most wonderful people I have ever know. She converted us all to Kathleen Ferrier. Strange but true, my 96 year old aunt sang in a backing choir for Kathleen Ferrier.
what a beautiful person with a truly amazing voice, rest in peace our kath,x
A Favourite played to me as a child at school assembly, those teacher knew what they were doing.
Recall playing the decca ffss record from an early age.
Does it get any better than this. I don't think so. Beautiful.
I am no fan of opera sung in English, but this is a most sublime and glorious exception! Thank you, Kathleen
A good Blackburn girl god bless her and her northern voice
Sharing her birthday, I was named after this sublime singer. I was introduced to her inimitably beautiful voice at an early age by my mother who, at nearly 100 years' old still almost weeps - as do I - when I play her Miss Ferrier's records. Such incredible singing, such a tragic loss.
My father died the same week aged 40 a professional singer also, so this always reminds me I was just a baby at the time
Beautiful...........
Voce stupenda e indimenticabile
Two beautiful arias from a beautiful lady who has left us a wonderful legacy. She will have enriched heaven immensely.
Always brings a tear to the eye.
First heard "What is life--"whilst lodging with an older couple in Middlesex, they would sit in silence and listen to music. I was a tax office trainee! The next song was one I learnt from the music teacher of the then "Southlands 2ndary School" in New Romney, as a pupil of singing aged 14, the lessons a gift from my elder sister. Great memories.
Reigns supreme
Kathleen Ferrier reduces one to ashes, in a profound and positive sense, the listener consumed by admiration,reverence and inspiration, by the beauty and sincerity of a supreme voice of such tenderness, reach and power, with such richness, rubato, resonance, purity of tone, spirit and belief in what she sings-all so modestly.
This is an English version of the famous aria from Gluck's opera "Orfeo et Euridice." The piece was first performed in Vienna on 5 October 1762.
Beautiful! What an artist!
brilliant what a shame she died so young
A voice like that should not die, It is supreme.Terry
My favorite female singer was Adelina Patti - now its Kathleen Ferrier. I can't listen to this without welling up. Will never be equalled.
