Agnus Dei (Bach) Kathleen Ferrier 

Kathleen Ferrier's voice is extra haunting in this Bach piece. She and Bach are a perfect blending.

Sublime et inoubliable Kathleen Ferrier!

Kathleen Ferrier was an amazing singer. I'm glad I was able to you introduce you to her exquisite singing. What a tragic loss that she died so young.

Thank you Kathleen for getting us a little closer to heaven.

Kathleen Ferrier - quite the most wonderful woman ever created.

Toujours avec Nous Kathleen...Eternelle..Quelle Beauté de tout.

Madame Kathleen's voice sends tingles washing over my head, down along my spine to my toes. Goodness, what a voice!

Working in Toronto during summer 1975, I found and height tracks cassette of J.S.Bach favorites...And Kathleen was there with this imparable Agnus Dei !... Being "full deeply touched", I cried, but not without a strong desire to learn and sing it ...to be again deeply-divinly transported ! Kathleen amasing,softly trembling voice penetrates each word of this text ! Post-mortem THANKS to Kathleen and Johan-Sebastian!!

OMG, this voice just engulfs the soul! So tragic she died so young. Thank you for making this tribute.

I am a Swansea taxi driver. One day I was carrying a family with young children. I was playing Kathleen Ferrier and I remember a young boy was spellbound by her singing.

Fu un vero Contralto, ineguagliabile per timbro e qualità vocali. Enorme

Une musique et une voix qui vous tirent des larmes. Inoubliable

Actually, it was your comment on my channel wall requesting something by Kathleen Ferrier that led to my making this video. I've always been very fond of her singing, and I thought an "In Memoriam" video would be a nice addition to my channel. So thank you for giving me the idea.

Taken from us far too early. Divine voice.

Inoubliable Kathleen Ferrier ! Merci pour ce moment de grâce ...pure .

I could listen to Kathleen Ferrier all day and all night.

If mankind has any worth as the universe watches on then this surely is our redemption.

Hauntingly beautiful, both the music and her singing.

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, która brała udział z Kathleen Ferrier w nagraniu Mszy h-moll z Wiedeńczykami w 1950 roku, wspominała później, że Karajan po Agnus Dei rozpłakał się jak dziecko. Jak Kathleen Ferrier mogła tak śpiewać kiedy wiedziała już, że jest nieuleczalnie chora. W jej głosie jest tylko piękno i harmonia, widocznie wiara, którą miała była silniejsza od lęku i bólu.... Brak słów. Najlepsze wykonanie Agnus Dei Bacha jakie znam.

Merci pour ce magnifique cadeau d'une sublime chantant le divin

Grande voix en effet et un beau visage!un ange sûrement, tombé du ciel !

Kathleen ferrier was a Christian, a Catholic . She took her faith very seriously , but she had a great sence of fun . Not a sour face . She is my my hero of classical singers because I am a Contralto singer.

Magnifique ! Merci ❤❤❤❤

What a beaitiful timbre from the Kathleen Ferrier, she seems to match the sound of a Viola with her Contralto voice. What a voice and what a face to quote Marian Anderson the American Contralto.

I have known about Ferrier since I was a teenager in the 60s. I still have I think it is Deutsche Gramaphon of her from my father's collection. (He had come to NZ from London before WWII.) I preferred Brahms as a teenager but have grown almost to default to Bach or contemporary music of various kinds. She is for this music. Her voice seems to has that extra depth. She was one of the great singers. Her husband encouraged her to sing.

What a voice!

Beautiful instrument!

Sencillamente Divina!! mejor cantante que muchas actuales... Voz cálida, homogénea en todo su registro, buen control del fiato, elegancia en el fraseo. Bravísima. Si ésta señora hubiera nacido unas décadas más tarde, hubiera sido con probabilidad una referencia musical en este estilo.

Reminds me of my dear Mum singing Blow the Wind Southerly over the kitchen sink while doing the dishes. She loved Kathleen Ferrier and wept when she died so young...

When I was 10 I was given a biography of Ferrier for young readers , a Sunday School prize ! and it fascinated me. I didn' t hear her voice until I was a young adult and it lived up to expectations... i am still amazed by how how beautiful it is from top to bottom of the range ..no booming or hooting. Its a pity her sister destroyed letters. Wonderful zany sense of humour

OUI c'est un vrai bonheur. Merci Nicolas.

She was quite a singer. So tragic that she died so young.

Beaute de la voix. Noblesse de l'artiste qui possede une grande ame, sens du religieux et une musique sublime

La plus grande voix de contralto ! Le génie à l'état pur... Partie trop tôt... mais éternelle.

色んな事に結局関わる優しい｢あっし｣、必死にドスを振り回す喧嘩剣法、あれだけ鋭い楊子さばきは決して武器には使わない、物語のからくりを読み解く探偵ばりの洞察力、全て大好き！

Un talent unique, au sommet.

Quelle presence !!!!Sublime. ..... Divine mci

She was such a supernatural one in music like Albert Einstein in science was.

splendide voice

Hermosa voz

"Agnus Dei" talvez do melhor, ou o melhor, que Bach escreveu. Uma verdadeira maravilha!

Brilliant.

¡Bellísimo! Gracias.

❤❤❤

She had no vocal flaws nor musical vagueness of any sort. She was as expressive as Maria Callas and had the velvet texture of Rosa Ponselle!

You're welcome. I'm happy you enjoyed it.

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Bravo

Divino semplicemente Divino

❤️

Wow!

Bravo!!!💥👌👌👌👌👌

If a human had a soul it would speak like Ms Ferrier sings.

To think their was a time when all the people who lived in your nation knew much of the same music . Some consistency in the social fabric but the sad thing is this music doesn't stop human beings from treating each other beastly . My kind would not have been allowed in many a salon or lieder hall to hear this music . How Anderson did it Icant imagine . What has been lost now that radio music has taken its turn . I can find some news on the radio but no Bach . And Putin is killing journalists and Rump cant stand the sight ogf NorthAfricans in Paris .

This borders on the miracoulus.

Öyle içten ve sarsıcı ki kayboldum

Dire que c'est beau est dire peu.....

esa canción la cantaron una vez en una posada jajajaja ♥ _ ♥

Kathleen Ferrlien ?

A mass is not an opera, her voice is too operatic, Andreas Scholl is the master, a male voice is better for this piece.
