There are 10, maybe more, versions of the Caccini/Vavilov Ave Maria on TH-cam. Most of these singers perform for the audience -- displaying their vocal talents at their very best. I like Ms Stepanyuk's version, because to me, she is PRAYING to Mother Mary. She is asking for help because we are sinners and we need the blessing of Mother Mary to guide us through life. Bravo, Ms. Stepanyuk! As far as this Ave Maria is concerned, yours is THE BEST. Thank you for the song, and thank you for praying for me and my loved ones. Spasibo!!!
This is the absolute best I have ever heard this version of Ave Maria sung. I saved in my favorites and come back to it time and time again. When I play it for someone, the first question is who is that singing, she is amazing.
I love good quality music from almost all genres. Blues, jazz, soul, dubstep, d'n'b, house, trance, chillout, lounge music, but classical music just tops it all! THIS IS JUST AMAZING, HER VOICE, SO PURE, CLEAN, STRONG, SENSITIVE, TOUCHING.
I've listened to many versions of this beautiful song which have all brought me to tears but Oksana made me cry....so beautiful and emotive...thank you so much for posting... ;)
realmente estremecedor, hace que recapacitemos en el papel cumplido por quien se entrego con el amor mas grande y puro a Dios y a su bendito hijo, y en la labor enorme de criar a Dios en su naturaleza humana o enseñar a Dios humanamente, Ave Maria....
So far, this is the best version of this song I have heard,though I'm open to contradiction, because I'm trying to look for the best version of this song :) Though don't send me Hayley Westenra's version! :P
Comparing Oksana and Hayley it is same as comparing 2 people who risk own life to safe your life from high mountain - for exemple. One come 5 minutes before other and then both rescue you in valley ... Will you thought first is better ???? Any way Oksana, Hayley or Olga Pyatogorskaya or some other are beautiful singer and make rich this song on own way ... :)
Inessa Galante created worldwide interest in this version in 1995... It's not difficult to 'see' why! watch?v=Ru8Yah-CMv0 This singer has a good voice but I think her breathing control is poor. No expert am I, but I hear it and it was disturbing.
Beautiful singing. Didn't really like the piano though. Thought the bass line was played a little too mechanically. Perhaps a little more phrasing complementing the singer would be good.

I've probably put +100 views on this by now...
She puts everything into it.
Truly an amazing performance.
この人の歌うアヴェマリアを聴いてると、胸の筋肉辺りが一瞬ギュッと締めつけられる！
単にメロディーを唱ってるだけでは無く、一音毎に心の奥から何かに感謝している様な、すさまじい情感が伝わって来て思わず眼が潤んでしまう。
歌いながらどんな想いを声に乗せているのだろうか？多分、推測では有るが、オクサーナ本人が過去に絶望に窮した時、そっと暖かい心で手を差し伸ばしてくれた何物かに対し、常に命の底からの感謝の想いを抱いて生きているからかも知れない。俺の1番好きなアヴェマリアです！アップ有り難う。
数あるアヴェ・マリアで、カッチーニが一番好きです。感動で涙が溢れます。私も色んな楽器で弾きたいと思います！

One of the absolute best recordings of this piece.. pianist is also very good
wow so beautiful....
I love this so much
Hermoso. Mi lenguaje no puede expresar tanta belleza.
This rendition has glorious tonal color, phrasing, and musicianship. It is far superior to others which are thin, lacking in color and depth.
hermoso
Brava! congrats!
Preciosa voz!
STEPANYUK HAS A AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE....
She has beautiful voice and also she has noble spirit, maybe. Both noble treasure fascinate many people over the world.

totally breathtaking... go girl.... hit 'em high --- as Mt. Everest
realmente estremecedor, hace que recapacitemos en el papel cumplido por quien se entrego con el amor mas grande y puro a Dios y a su bendito hijo, y en la labor enorme de criar a Dios en su naturaleza humana o enseñar a Dios humanamente, Ave Maria....
absolute power this woman ..@1:44 and subtler tonal variation with genius
very very good
This music is not by Caccini, but by Vladimir Vavilov, gitarist and lutenist from Leningrad.
So far, this is the best version of this song I have heard,though I'm open to contradiction, because I'm trying to look for the best version of this song :) Though don't send me Hayley Westenra's version! :P
So much better that Hayley!!!!! Loved it! And I do know about opera, I am a soprano since I was 15 ;)
Прекрасно.
Ave Maria (1970) de Vladimir Vavilov (1925-1973)
Adorable performence! Wonderful voice and signer! :)Bravo! Anybody knows where is she signing?
Beau morceau que cet Ave Maria
nothing wrong with her voice its beautiful ,i am a soprano 1 .
Please listen to Elisabeth Kulman's interpretation. That is really perfect!
@k9maxie even her voice is stronger and higher note than Sumi Jo. dont u think?
This song was written by Vladimir Vavilov and not Caccini!
There are not any best versions, only different ones. "Best" is a subjective term for the most part, when it comes to music.
How about when she was 13! Brava! Listen to Ave Maria Giulio Caccini by Manolo De Rold. To get the full effect stand back 5 feet when listening.
@ruepot I agree, if angels sing, Im sure they sound like Sumi Joe.
awesome - where can I find this arrangement?

real song!!!
This is a real soprano
Her performance is really nice. But still my favorite version of Caccini's Ave Maria is by Cecilia Bartoli, though I'm Russian :D
Don't compare her with Hayley Westenra, Stepanyuk is the opera singer but Hayley is a crossover classical singer!!!
J'aime bien. Pas mon interprétation préférée, mais presque..^^
アベマリアは何種類もの作品が在るのですね。今度出たのには7曲のってました。
ピアノは比留間さんですしサイコウ
Beautiful! Olmost the same as mine video
Amazing peformance... Hail Mary
That is because you still don't have listened to "Sumi Jo". Please, try it looking for in TH-cam.
この作品の模範的な歌唱だと思います。
Невеличке уточненя. Цю компзицію написав не Каччіні, а Володимир Вавілов у 1968 році.
haley westenra isnt a classical singing or an opera singer. shes a pop singer. u cant compare. There both amazing.
mira mira aqui las cosas en español
It's always the Russians who sing this song beautifully.
To say Hayley is better is just insane. Stepanyuk's voice has more depth and is far more powerful
hmm... i think she compromised the breath control for the loudness :/ it kinda broke the phrases a bit too much for my liking
great voice! Better than haley westenra.
I accidentally read Stepanyuk as Steampunk.
By the way, FANTASTIC singing!
Inessa Galante created worldwide interest in this version in 1995... It's not difficult to 'see' why! watch?v=Ru8Yah-CMv0
This singer has a good voice but I think her breathing control is poor. No expert am I, but I hear it and it was disturbing.
oh come on.
Beautiful singing. Didn't really like the piano though. Thought the bass line was played a little too mechanically. Perhaps a little more phrasing complementing the singer would be good.
She´s Ukrainian singer !
Transcendant......
