L’Agnus Dei è il pezzo più bello, l’ultimo, e definitivo, di quel grande capolavoro che è la Petite messe solennelle. Pezzo sublime. Con esso il Contralto dice l’ultima parola. Brigitte Fassbaender, pur Mezzosoprano, è luminosa e bravissima.

Fassbender is a force to be reckoned with!!!! She is the ultimate. Free flowing gorgeous rich tone, pathos, musicality, flawless in every area of her voice from chest to head and in between. Sheer Brilliance!! I have long loved her since my college days wearing out her recording of Frauenliebe und -leben!!!

[@frogmouth]

I ordered Frauenliebe as one of 6 of a larger order and all the other 5 arrived within 6 weeks. Bugger!

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

Me too! I’m fairly obsessed with that recording too. ❤

[@albertogallo5762]

La bellezza del registro misto che oramai più nessuno apprezza ❤❤❤

[@frogmouth]

Love it

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

My favourite mezzo by a million miles!!! It's just mind-blowing. Not only hugely connected, technically brilliant singing; but also such charisma and pathos.

[@paddycayo]

Pure greatness. Love her sound, her musicality, this is just killer.

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

I can’t imagine the impact of hearing this live. I come back to this again and again. Brigitte’s absolutely phenomenal voice.

[@LaSopRAWna]

It must be the 40th time i've watched this and my body still produces CHILLS at that stunning finale!!!! Volcanoes of wailing tone. She is just authenticity and fearlessness personified!!!

[@chriss5988]

Tout simplement Sublime!! Une des plus grandes mezzo du 20eme siècle ! Bravo et merci .

[@Amanda-sf3fx]

Heard this first time, with Fassbaender singing it, when I was studying Music A Level hundreds of years ago - she blew me away and I have NEVER forgotten it!

[@railisissonen7661]

So. Beautiful..I...like. This..❤😊😊❤❤❤❤❤!!

[@marshahammondphd158]

Played in Asheville NC last night. I’ve never heard such a floral piece of music. I envisioned Rossini composing in a garden with flowers, bees, birds.. cups of tea.

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

Still one of favourite vocal performances ever!!

[@frogmouth]

Superb. Powerful. Sung beautifully with great sincerity.

[@jaimecorvus6373]

Fassbaender pura meraviglia. should hear her in shostakovitch's songs & dances of death : her power will shread your soul to death.

[@TheKoniginderNacht]

Meravigliosa! Un'esecuzione da antologia compreso lo splendido gruppo vocale formato da otto cantanti, proprio come voleva Rossini.

[@frogmouth]

Adore this.
