Hayley Westenra - Ave Maria

Hayley sang "Ave Maria"
I'm not sure whether this is LIVE.

[@rolykemp9297]

This version of Ave Maria sung by Hayley Westenra is by far the best I've heard. Others just don't compare.

[@katerinalove7704]

How I imagine an angel would sound. Pure and perfect voice.

[@kitcloudkicker72]

my thoughts exactly

[@therealcorydjones]

I'm not convinced she's not an angel.

[@donaldedward4951]

I don't know of any angels in an operatic work.

[@Czechleo30]

I just lost my mother yesterday and this version of Hayley is helping me to cope with the pain... Mom wherever you are, I will always love you....

[@johnmcdonagh1193]

Your Mother is absolutely 100% in Heaven.

[@markunwin2109]

God bless your mother...god be with you..

[@津多則光]

曲と声音がこれほど美しく融合して心に響いてきた歌は聴いたコトがなかった。ほんとうにすばらしいHayleyさんのAve Mariaです。永遠の歌声だと思います。

[@damedattakyoumo2844]

この曲がかかった瞬間、車から見える景色が変わりました。青い空、白い雲、揺れる木々、風までもが命を吹き込まれた様に感じました。 この星に生まれたことだけでも幸せなんだと、苦しんでいた自分が解放された瞬間でした。素晴らしい作品ですね。

[@kathiboothe7095]

I listened to this song often when caregiving for my Mom. It was just so beautiful! I viewed my last year of taking care of my Mom (2013) as walking with her to heaven’s gate. When that hour actually came, I had Pandora on and sat reading aloud some Bible verses. Ave Maria came on Pandora and my Mom actually died during those ten seconds of the swirly violin music. I pictured it as the gate to heaven opening to receive my Mom, and that I was given just a taste of the glory to be found on the other side. This song always moves me to tears and reminds me of God’s thoughtfulness to me as my Mom reached heaven’s gate.

[@joshuafluman2151]

I want to encourage you. The fact that you said you often listened to this song when caretaking for your mother and you had that specific view; that mindset while taking care of her. Then when the time came and she departed from this realm, that same song was playing, to me, that's synchronization. It's another way the Lord speaks to us showing us He's there and we're on the right path. That confirms to me that she is with the Lord. I pray that this song will always bring thoughts of goodness, memories, and peace when you hear it. Additionally, since it has been 5 years since she passed, 5 is the number for grace and in some cultures it serves as the link between heaven and earth. I pray that you'll be shown even more grace this year. I don't know if you're feeling her loss more this year than previous years, but I do hope that this comment blesses and uplifts you.

東日本大震災の被災者の方に、Hayley Westenraが歌うAve Mariaの曲を捧げたいです。 Her angel's voice is Beautiful. Great voice. To the earthquake victim in Japan.

[@yurygerasimov5840]

I feel like I’m in heaven listening to her version of Ave Maria

[@Suitecake]

Her voice is one of the finest I have ever heard, and this rendition utilizes it perfectly, with every swell accentuating her emotion and every subtle note displaying her mastery. Beautiful.

[@rajamoorthy1969]

There are no words to describe the beauty of this angelic voice... Spectacular... Breathtaking... Exquisite... Sublime...Magnificent... Ethereal.... Pure... Divine... Perfect... One of the all time best version of Ave Maria....Absolutely one of the best voices ever....Truly a gift from the Heavens.... A treasure of earth and not just New Zealand... Too bad it is not live.

I'v being seriously struggling with my faith for Months, I had spoken with a very brilliant French Priest previously. I heard this song on local radio, lyric f.m. while sitting at the traffic lights. Then I something beautiful and amazing happened to me, I received the love that only a Mother can give, with absolute love and peace.

Y・Tで知った私の好きなクラシックの一つです。 曲自体は単調な旋律で、歌詞も、アベマリアの繰り返し・・・・ なのに、心に訴えるモノが有リ、聴くたびに感動を深めるカッチーニのアベマリア♪ そんな、たかぶる気持ちを、とても美しく歌い込まれ素晴らしい音楽に会えたように 思います。アベマリア。。。有難う御座いました♪

[@agiworem]

Magnifique, grandiose, sublime, divin

[@118fumiaki3]

とても美しいお声で、聴いていて、自分の今抱えている苦しみ、悲しさを一時忘れさせていただきましたありがとう

[@MargunAngelo]

By far the best version of Ava Maria I've heard... thou I'm not a professional. The other classical singers for this sing that a lot of people are fond of don't deliver the same chills with their versions. The difference between "classical classic" and "modern classic" interpretation I suppose :/ which the former doesn't fit as well into this exact "moment" of time frame.

[@plumeria66]

Morgan Angelo I dislike opera singers because of their vibrato and haughty sound that strikes me as pretentious and false. Thus I prefer Hayley's version the best of all the Ave Maria's.

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

plumeria66 Without denying the sheer beauty of Miss Westenra's sound, there's no way a voice so light and breathy could project over an orchestra without a microphone. Opera singers are trained to sing un-miked in much larger spaces over much larger ensembles. Call it pretentious if you like - but you can't deny it's pretty darn impressive for a person as tiny as Natalie Dessay to sing unmiked over an orchestra. Look her up and see what I mean. :)

[@ckohan2]

I agree. First time in years a performance literally gave me goosebumps and adrenalin rush. Makes me want to go buy a set of Klipsch speakers instead of my BOSE and listen again

[@utoobah]

@@inesdeerausquin5658 I agree. She lacks breath support

[@utoobah]

@@plumeria66 if u listen to the GOLDEN AGE early operas, they aren’t like this at all. If u listen to Maria Callas, Patti, Corelli etc. their voices aren’t pretentious and doesn’t sound ‘false’ at all. Hayley is A pop (classical pop) singer. Modern opera singers nowadays don’t really know how to sing properly. The kind of ‘vibrato’ u described aren’t actually vibratos. They are what we professional classical singers describe as the ‘wobbly voice’ (wrong way of doing a technique + lack of breath support)

[@marcosguerra6643]

jamas había oído cantar así a nadie¡¡ esta canción es un regalo de dios para quien lo busca, gracias Virgen mía por dejarme sentirte en esta canción ....

[@mariasusana.dalleva]

There are many Ave Maria ... But this from Julio Caccini ... is touching indeed .... Wonderful perfomance ....

[@alcofribasnasier2732]

by no means Caccini (BTW he was called in his lifetime more often Giulio Romano after his bithplace, not Giulio Caccini). this composition was written by Leningrad guitar and lute player & composer Vladimir Vavilov. due to lack of the standardly adopted musical academic education as composer, he had no other way to perform, print, promote and record his works doing the false attributions to the well-known Renaissance or Baroque composers. this version of Ave Maria also utilized the only two words from the prayer to Our Lady, not the whole text. the first recording of this Ave Maria was first released on Melodiya label as a work of anonymous author, later re-attributed to Giulio Caccini. sharp harmonies used by Vavilov weren't in usage by European composers before 18 century. the composition was incorporated first to an album 'European Lute Music of 16-17th cc.' with Vavilov playng lute. sung for the first time by Nadezhda Weiner (with composer accompanying the lute and Mark Shakhin playing the organ), it raised its popularity due to the effort of Lithuanian soprano Inessa Galante, who has recorded it as Caccini work in London.

Hayley Westenra is the best performer of Vavilov's Ave Maria

[@puffin51]

Would you care to have a look at Sumi Jo's rendition, which is available on YT. Just search Sumi Jo and Ave Maria. You may still prefer Hayley Westenra's, of course, but speaking only for myself, I find Sumi Jo's performance rivetting.

[@the-best-fragments-of-movies]

yes, I have heard Sumi Jo. Of course, she perfectly performs this song. She is very talented. But Hayley Westenra, and even Charlotte Church, are singing this song much better. In my opinion they sing a lot easier and more natural. they have angelic voices. possibly due to their age
