The Incomparable Dame Janet and The Wonderful Kathleen
Contrast and compare The Dame singing this with the Wonderful Kathleen – note those pure top As - singing the same thing (in a slightly truncated version, I’ll grant you).
Somewhere in between these two we must slot in that magnificent diva Barbara Hendricks, despite her ever so slightly eccentric take on the rhythm of this piece. Perhaps, and just for fun (considering the liberties he took with it), we should also consider the late, great Pavarotti's version.
Enjoy!
