bravo

I read somewhere that she was only 13 when she played in these videos. It's hard to play this good at any age, let alone 13. I am so in love with her playing.

So utterly moving! I understand that this lady's nature was as beautiful as her voice. This shows through in the thoughtful accompanying montage of photos. Thank you!

what a beautiful person with a truly amazing voice, rest in peace our kath,x

I was brought up in a children's home in Harpenden. Unlike the hell that other kids went through elsewhere, we had Sister Ethel Smith. One of the most wonderful people I have ever know. She converted us all to Kathleen Ferrier. Strange but true, my 96 year old aunt sang in a backing choir for Kathleen Ferrier.

Does it get any better than this. I don't think so. Beautiful.

A Favourite played to me as a child at school assembly, those teacher knew what they were doing.

Recall playing the decca ffss record from an early age.

I am no fan of opera sung in English, but this is a most sublime and glorious exception! Thank you, Kathleen

A good Blackburn girl god bless her and her northern voice

Sharing her birthday, I was named after this sublime singer. I was introduced to her inimitably beautiful voice at an early age by my mother who, at nearly 100 years' old still almost weeps - as do I - when I play her Miss Ferrier's records. Such incredible singing, such a tragic loss.

the best presentation ever , sensebility and skils like!!

My father died the same week aged 40 a professional singer also, so this always reminds me I was just a baby at the time

Sweet and clear.

Voce stupenda e indimenticabile

Two beautiful arias from a beautiful lady who has left us a wonderful legacy. She will have enriched heaven immensely.

Martha Masters is performing at LMU on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014. Can't wait to see her in person.

Beautiful...........

Reigns supreme

First heard "What is life--"whilst lodging with an older couple in Middlesex, they would sit in silence and listen to music. I was a tax office trainee! The next song was one I learnt from the music teacher of the then "Southlands 2ndary School" in New Romney, as a pupil of singing aged 14, the lessons a gift from my elder sister. Great memories.

Always brings a tear to the eye.

Kathleen Ferrier reduces one to ashes, in a profound and positive sense, the listener consumed by admiration,reverence and inspiration, by the beauty and sincerity of a supreme voice of such tenderness, reach and power, with such richness, rubato, resonance, purity of tone, spirit and belief in what she sings-all so modestly.

This is an English version of the famous aria from Gluck's opera "Orfeo et Euridice." The piece was first performed in Vienna on 5 October 1762.

brilliant what a shame she died so young

A voice like that should not die, It is supreme.Terry

The popular Li Jie recordings available on KZbin were made as illustrations to lessons given by teacher Chen Zi, so the video editing is excellent for those wanting to learn the pieces. The audio CD (Classical Guitar by Li Jie, Shine Horn, SC-1048) and the set of 3 training videos in Chinese (Classical Guitar Masterpieces Playing - Chen Zhi, Shine, SD-1144) are still available, though the latter probably needs to be ordered from Amazon China.

My late parents favourite.Exposed me to this at an early age.plus some classical music. Has influenced my musical taste more than somewhat. No regrets however.

My dad gave me a book entitled; Kathleen Ferrier-A memoir. We still have it in our library so I grew up knowing her in black and white.

très bien joué

This is wonderfully beautiful. This guitarist every day I love more.

Браво !

You are most welcome Selene ♫♪☯

Tan bello ... Thank you for this moment : )

Thank you Coco, did you mean the Rev Gary Davis perhaps?

I knew Kathleen when I was 6 years old was greatly upset when she diedin 1953. Her voice is unique and raises the hairs on my neck.Her brother in law,many years later taught me to play the organ.

Yes this immortalises her and surely another of my favourites- hauntingly beautiful.

Li Jie impresses me more than any other guitarist in the world. I wish we could see and hear much more of her playing.
