      "Devastating" is right. I can't think of any other operatic - or other - musical number that grabs me like this does: Right by the guts. Yes, there are other operatic About-To-Die numbers, but they're somehow glamorised and glossy....... Whereas this is raw pathos, in the proper sense of the word. Superb composition, superbly performed!
