Jessye Norman sings Wagner

That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

What sort of noise is that?

It's no Gangsta Rap so I won't listen to that junk.

The great late Jessye Norman's excellent interpretation of "Isolde's Liebestod" for you music lovers. She's no Birgit Nilsson but she is very good.

Do you know her performance of Strauss's Beim Schlafengehen from Four Last Songs? It's divine (I write as an atheist).

@helenS I've always been moved by Massenet's Manon sung by Victoria de los Angeles. That scene where she finally wins him back as he's about to be ordained a priest - "I'm still the same person you were so much in love with" with so much yearning and desperation in her voice and he can hold out no longer, brings tears to my eyes and I'm not primarily an opera lover.
