I don’t care if a complaint about all the YouTubing was intended:
YOU HAVE COMPLETELY MADE MY EVENING. THANK YOU.
Brava Susan!
That was a beautifully rendered, moving Ave Maria. Brava!
She may look like 2005 Renée, but the honesty in her interpretation is something Renée cannot even conceptualise!
CerquettiFarrell, from 40 – Hope this isn’t chiming in too late, but I’m pretty sure the divine Inge’s Gurre-Lieder you mean was with Kubelik, and it’s still available at:

She and the conductor are wonderful but to my ear the tenor leaves a lot to be desired.

Gualtier M (an alias within an alias), many thanks for the Behrens tribute. I’m teaching a Greer piece this week as fate would have it, and while she makes me insane and perhaps does exaggerate Behrens’ difficulties, I can forgive a Behrens fan much
