I was surfing and came across this thread. FL's OP has a magnificent song, and I was almost certain I had heard that rendition
before and so I went to my archives and found it. Lo and behold I have that DVD, its titled The Gala Concert 300 Years of St. Petersburg.
The song in the OP is absolutely beautiful, it is "Musetta's Waltz" [Quando men vo] from Puccini's La Boheme. I love this aria, and am very
glad I found this OP and then went on to find my DVD of this concert with the amazingly beautiful Anna Netrebko singing Quando men vo in St.
Petersburg. She was in top form in this video, absolutely beautiful. [Furstentum Liechtenstein has impeccable tastes in both women and music.] :)

Patricia janeckova-dokonalá was just discovered by me, thanks to you. That was a beautiful delivery of Ennio Morricone's
Once Upon A Time In The West. I have the DVD titled Morricone Conducting Morricone with the soprano Susanna Rigacci
doing the vocal work and Once Upon A Time In The West is on that DVD.

I don't have this video rendition, but here she is doing Once Upon A Time In The West:

And here is a magnificent delivery of the same piece:

Andre Rieu's orchestra with the Brazilian soprano Carla Maffioletti
singing Morricone's Once Upon A Time In The West.
(Note the atmospherics, they are amazingly beautiful.
The lights against the buildings, quite delightful.]

I appreciate very much discovering Patricia. She just went
into my Fave folder on YouTube.

Thank God For Music

Speaking of beautiful music!

Jackie Evancho was 11 years old when she sang this rendition of Nessun Dorma.

This is my "do you have a soul test" .. lol .. that I give my extended family and close friends, if you can:

(1) Go the distance with this video
(2) With your speakers kicked on up there, so you can feel this powerful piece of music
(3) And NOT have your neck hairs tingle ...

.. then, imo, you have no soul ../Big Grin

Jackie has an amazing gift. What a beautiful voice! She was my favorite singer on America's Got Talent.

Amen to all that. I hope Jackie can maintain her voice because imo we need all the positive up-lifting soul-stirring
music that we can get here in America to provide an alternative to the "jungle music" and "pure asininity" that permeates
the air from sources like MTV.

And it sounds like Jackie is going to maintain her voice and keep doing quite well. I'm not certain, but I think this
performance of her singling The Music Of The Night was done in late 2013 or possibly even this year. She can
still sing, and she is of course growing up. I think she is age 13 here in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPwcy2tJIXQ

I thought this wiki write-up on Jackie was interesting [lengthy too]. I discovered that her parents are Christians,
that's nice to know [the article said they were Catholics.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Evancho

Also the same article said she was born Jacqueline Marie Evancho , April 9, 2000 (age 13)

From all I read, it appears her parents are solid Family people and are emphasizing the important of Family values
to Jackie. I hope Jackie remains stable in her Family values, and does not have the instability problems that some
of the "child stars" have had, for example Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus.

I think to much fame can be deadly. We humans were not designed to be gods and worshiped. Imo, those two elements
contributed to the death of Elvis the "King."

I have an amazing appreciation for beautiful singing. I think it's because I have absolutely THE WORST singing voice. Everything I've tried in my life, I've been able to get better with practice. I just can't sing.

Dearest Rick,

I'm sure God loves it when you sing hymns of praise to Him!

Why?

FL y:-?
Because he realized she's an opera singer. And any red-blooded man won't admit he likes opera. Especially Scottish men who wear skirts kilts.

Perhaps Proinsias had partaken too much of the lovely elixir of his native Scotland! Aye, Proinsias! a Man who loves Scotch is also loved by God!

Actually,
God revealed these exact words to me in a dream, "I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, STOP SINGING!!!"
