Fantastic. A performance which touches your soul. Thank you! Her voice fully expresses the score Mascagni composed the harmony imbeded in her anguish. "Mother, thou who suffered so greatly, See my anguish.In the cruel torment of endless weeping, Do not abandon me. Hail Mary! Oppressed by grief, Do not leave me, O Mother, have mercy!"
Just wonderful. I love her voice singing at this time (2007 to 2012). She is wonderfully melodic with a lovely timbre; but still carries the mezzo depth. Beautifully sung - the best I have ever heard this Ave Maria. Thanks for posting.
The most beautiful talented fabulous voice I every heard pure joy pure perfection she must be from heaven brings tears to my eyes her beauty shines like an Angel. Sheer beauty and grace once in a lifetime voice
cant stop listening and watching her stunning performances (i wish i could see her in Slovakia one day) and i think, neither Callas, neither Caballe (as opera Divas) are not so impressive for me, as Elina :)
magnifique chant , magnifique mezzo Elina , je conseille à tous les internautes qui aiment le chant lyruque de voir ce chant interprété par une très jeune soprano de 12 ans Amira Willighagen pour le Chrismas concert à Nijmegen cette meme annee 2015, à voir également le concert de Reykjavik. qui est une merveille !
Ave Maria, madre Santa, Sorreggi il piè del misero che t'implora, In sul cammin del rio dolor E fede, e speme gl'infondi in cor. O pietosa, tu che soffristi tanto, Vedi, ah! Vedi il mio penar. Nelle crudeli ambasce d'un infinito pianto, Deh! Non m'abbandonar. Ave Maria! In preda al duol, Non mi lasciar, o madre mia, pietà! O madre mia, pietà! In preda al duol, Non mi lasciar, non mi lasciar.
