Just like Maria Callas, her voice doesn't break when she's at her highest. This is the particularity and power of a Diva.

Serenade to Music English source: William Shakespeare How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Look, how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold: There's not the smallest orb that thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins; Such harmony is in immortal souls; But, whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn: With sweetest touches pierce your mistress' ear, And draw her home with music. I am never merry when I hear sweet music. The reason is, your spirits are attentive: The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted... Music! hark! It is your music of the house. Methinks it sounds much sweeter than by day. Silence bestows that virtue on it. How many things by season season'd are. To their right praise and true perfection! Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion, And would not be awak'd. (Soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony.)

The music of Ralph Vaughn Williams always transports me to another place. It is so easy to picture a rolling English countryside with a few sheep peacefully grazing. Thank you for this wonderful performance.

Thankyou, that was beautiful

Beautiful. It filled this Englishman with a lot of emotion. A slight shame that individual members of the chorus were not used as Vaughan Williams originally intended. the 16 soloists would have given a little more clarity to the words I feel.

This was a version of the original work with numerous lines for soloists given instead to the whole section. A bad idea, I thought, that spoiled some of the intimacy and expressivity that Vaughan had wanted...

I wonder on who's authority those changes were made.
