Kathleen Ferrier.FILM.Moves to London in the War Years.O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion.

That she WAS at all is some kind of miracle, a perfect, thus undeserved, gift to humankind. Not only witty & gritty, she was a towering voice & art. Completely integrated, whole. I own this DVD & only regret that Patricia Routledge the Great was chosen to narrate Kaff's voice. Love Routledge but nothing like the warm dark & rich contralto speaking voice that was, in its way, as beautiful as Ferrier's singing voice. How I miss her! And I know her only through recordings, written documents & the loveliest hearsay. Thx for this treat, my dear lochness11 ❤

Hello mckavitt13. We seem to have similair musical tastes in singers! Nice to hear from you. :)

Listen to her live recording of Gluck at Amsterdam in 1946 and you will realise how good she really was. Fantastic.

She was the nearest to an angel a human can be!

Yes, Kath's voice was remarkable------it went straight to the soul of the listener. Unique in all senses of the word. Thankyou for commenting.

Beautifully edited so well explained of the finest contralto ever.

[@terencearmstrong2783]

Why oh why was she never filmed in a recital or oratorio! We can hear so many recordings which is wonderful, but can never see her beautiful face actually singing them!

케슬린 페리어는 바흐 헨델 브람스 말러의 음악을 가장 빛나게 노래한 예술가입니다 그녀의 너무도 빠른 죽음이 안타깝씁니다 케슬린 페리어같은 가수는 다시는 없을것입니다 그녀가 작고한지 70년이 훨씬 지났으나 아직 그녀와 같은 예술가는 없씁니다 한없이 청아하고 애뜻한 그녀의 목소리는 두번다시 들을수없음이 나를 슮프게합니다

The Goddess of music. And is that Patricia Routledge narrating Kathleen's letters?

[@lochness11]

Yes. It is Patricia Routledge.
