Angeles Blancas "Songs of travel" (R. Vaughan-Williams) LIFEVictoria 2013

[@alejandrofernandezgomez7025]

Te vi en Orense y esa tarde supe lo que es la felicidad, dura poca pero se hace perdurable en el tiempo.Ojalá nos bendigas con tu presencia y vuelvas pronto a Galicia o si no me encantaría verte en el Real en Madrid.Tu presencia nos ilumina a los que amamos el arte de la lírica.

This seems so far outside the English folksong tradition that Vaughan Williams was working in, but, my God!, what tremendous commitment and emotion. She totally won me over, and put real blood into her performance. I think Vaughan Williams would have loved it. I know I did. I loved this music before, and she has made me love it (and her) even more. So great sometimes to see a human being triumph so wonderfully in her humanness. Brava!
