Thank you Marilyn Horne for sharing your gifted voice to the world

I remember hearing Marilyn Horne sing this song as an encore in 1978 or 1979 at Lincoln Center. When I met her at a masterclass almost 40 years later and told her that I could still hear her voice singing that song, she was impressed and, I think, touched. Her eyes got big and she said "Really?". She told me that if she had known that so many people would later tell her they loved that song, "We [she and Joan Sutherland] wouldn't have sung the hard stuff!"

She is just incredible. The voice and pauses/sighs are exceptional and an intact attribute of a singer

This is first class. Thank you so much.

No this is not Opera, it is Marilyn Horne singing a parlor song by Stephen Foster in the Bel Canto style of singing. Her technique is flawless, and her "sigh" at the end of the piece is probably one of the most beautiful lines ever sung by a human being.

I remember first hearing her do this at a Met performance with Sutherland. After all the pyrotechnics, the lights dimmed and she sang with a harpist. It was and is one of the most unbearably beautiful moments I can recall. What incredible sadness in this song and lyrics, and she gets it all. The house was absolutely still when she sang and after she finished.

[patricias]

for you, Sara, the beloved mother. How much you loved this song! Rest in peace.

How beautiful her voice is, what a nifty song.

Questo era l'ultimo dei bis, quello con cui salutava il pubblico alla fine dei recital. Ho avuto la fortuna di poterla ascoltare due volte al Teatro alla Scala nel 1978 e 79.❤️

é a voz mais linda que eu já ouvi na minha vida, parece um anjo

[riccardobarreca]

La migliore interpretazione in perfetto bel canto.

[hugginduff]

agreed esp the way she slows down at the end so vapor becomes vaapoooor

[최예삐-xk]

Floating like a vapor o n the soft summmer air
