A favorite Verdi performance from Remko Jas

Elisabeth Grümmer was, of course, very good at Wagnerian prayers, but she also shines in this Verdi prayer.

I have never heard a more moving version. The poetry and mood of the moment suit the German perfectly, and you simply believe her and live the role with her, as in all her other performances.
