    As a former singer whose vocal chords were permanently damaged during an operation, this singer makes me weep.

    I have tracked this piece over again for the last twenty years to every Utube posting I can find. This is my number one soprano aria and I've been a student of opera for 40 years. I am a tenor and this year will find the sheet music so that I can sing this just for myself as I love it. Ms Kavinski is the rank of the very best I've heard sing this aria, that includes any one you can find on Utube....anyone. What is her future after the service? She should be heard beyond this "happenstance" posting. Brava!!!!!

    That Susan and the Navy orchestra would think of themselves worthy of performing such a challenging selection as this is a definite tribute to their musical prowess. She does sing this extraordinarily well. To be able to render this kind of world class performance is just astounding--these people have this amazing talent yet sacrifice much to be in the service of their country. Very, very impressive. We do still have some in this country of whom we can be especially proud. Bravissimo Susan and orchestra!

The sound is technically perfect too. I will look out for more music of Susan Kavinski as I am hooked on her voice - I hope you read the comments Susan.

    To the person who commented about the compensation of the enlisted personnel in the military bands. They come into the band at an E-6 pay grade which is base pay of about $30,000 per year plus 30 days leave per year, military housing or allowance, and additional allowances for subsistence. The Navy Band web site estimates that the total compensation package for someone living off base and with no dependents is around $55,000 per year and for someone with dependents, who gets a larger housing allowance, it's about $62,000. A large portion of that is free of taxes. So someone good enough to get into the band does a lot better than a beginning school music teacher or a member of a smaller professional orchestra.
