Alessandra Marc - "Pace, pace mio Dio" with Bernard Katz at the piano

[@neilfunk1857]

I first heard her in 1983 and it remains the most miraculous sound I have ever heard from a human throat.

Wow! Lovely video. What a voice she has. Beyond perfection, I love her. Thank you, Opera Vita!

Same here. Seeing (and hearing) Bernie play brings back so many memories.

Superb! I got chills listening to her command and exquisite range. I’m blown away!

Thanks for posting. It is my belief that you have two different Bernard Katzes in your recordings. In this recording with Alessandra Marc you have Bernard Katz of Michigan in his living room playing a Mason and Hamlin Grand. I used to play that piano all the time when I visited him as a child. The piano was built for Ossip Gabrilowitsch who was also the founding director of The Detroit Symphony Orchestra in Orchestra Hall.

You are correct, Bernie was a friend of mine and a long time accompanist. You are also right about the piano if my recollection is accurate. I believe Bernie also had a bosendorfer at one point.

@@pozdolpresentaoperavitalar9613 Thanks, The Bosendorfer is news to me. But I am relatively young. Over the years since his death I have seen reference to another pianist inEurope.

@@pozdolpresentaoperavitalar9613 do you have any more recordings of him playing?? I only have a single CD and would love more!

[@pozdolpresentaoperavitalar9613]
