We both adored Ms Norman’s version of “Mild und leise wie er lächelt” (aka Isolde’s Liebestod), one of those sublime pieces of music that bring you to tears of joy:

   1. This piece you posted is just wonderful! Purity, power and passion combined with great technical skill – she was such a great diva ? We were lucky to hear such a voice.

      That is magnificent. If you don’t mind, I will use that one over the next year.

      1. Please, feel free to use it as you see fit. I’d love for more people to hear it.
