Jessye Norman sings Wagner

Poll - Total Votes: 3
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.

I want this to be played when I die.

I don't know why, but I've never enjoyed the sound of vibrato. I know it's highly prized and appreciated in classical opera, but I've never really liked it. And that means I don't really enjoy most opera. Queen of the Night though, that's a fun piece!

@ElwoodBlues The Magic Flute is very special, it's outside the typical opera canon. It's a suburb opera, written for a suburb audience.
@ElwoodBlues in Beim Schlafengehen she sings almost without vibrato - very pure notes.
