One of favorite alt, warm,deep, full of Love to Heaven. Thanks!

""...jij moet de priester in jouw vak zijn" - she used to say, a wonderful person who lived by the same dictate as her favourite composer JSBach, to wit 'JESU JUVA' 🙌

That most ghostly vibrato in her voice - like Ferrier her voice was one in a million - so beautiful.

Since you appreciated Aafje Heynis singing this song I think you would also like her rendition of "Dank sei dir, Herr" (Thanks Be To Thee) which has been attributed to Handel. Your comparison of her with Kathleen Ferrier is most apt.

@@713davidh42 Yes I love it - thanks for mentioning it to me. Best wishes from Australia.

I think her tonal range is bigger than Ferrier's. This piece is sublime regardless.

Charming characteristic voice, but too much vibrato for my year 2024 taste. 😉 Reminds me somewhat of Kathleen Ferrier.
