- A short clip from the one hour film,televised in 2003 to commemorate the death of Kathleen Ferrier contralto--1912-1953. Died aged 41 years.
Kathleen Ferrier was persuaded to move from Lancashire to London where she rented a flat in Hampstead, and sang 17 Messiahs in a month to pay the rent!
The mezzo-soprano Dame Janet Baker also appears in this film.
Extracts from Kath's letters are read by the actress Patricia Routledge.
End of this film is in my Videos as 'Kathleen FERRIER.FILM.Final Orpheus and illness.Friends remember. '.
AVAILABLE: ' Kathleen Ferrier An Ordinary Diva'. - เพลง
That she WAS at all is some kind of miracle, a perfect, thus undeserved, gift to humankind. Not only witty & gritty, she was a towering voice & art. Completely integrated, whole.
I own this DVD & only regret that Patricia Routledge the Great was chosen to narrate Kaff's voice. Love Routledge but nothing like the warm dark & rich contralto speaking voice that was, in its way, as beautiful as Ferrier's singing voice. How I miss her! And I know her only through recordings, written documents & the loveliest hearsay. Thx for this treat, my dear lochness11 ❤
Hello mckavitt13. We seem to have similair musical tastes in singers! Nice to hear from you. :)
Listen to her live recording of Gluck at Amsterdam in 1946 and you will realise how good she really was. Fantastic.
She was the nearest to an angel a human can be!
Yes, Kath's voice was remarkable------it went straight to the soul of the listener.
Unique in all senses of the word. Thankyou for commenting.
Beautifully edited so well explained of the finest contralto ever.
Glad to see you back on youtube! Of course I remember you :)
Great to hear from you Rowna. Happy memories. A big hug. R. :)
cantorandopera Remember me too? 😘
Why oh why was she never filmed in a recital or oratorio! We can hear so many recordings which is wonderful, but can never see her beautiful face actually singing them!
The Goddess of music. And is that Patricia Routledge narrating Kathleen's letters?
Yes. It is Patricia Routledge.
@@lochness11 Two wonderful women.

케슬린 페리어는 바흐 헨델 브람스 말러의 음악을 가장 빛나게 노래한
예술가입니다
그녀의 너무도 빠른 죽음이 안타깝씁니다
케슬린 페리어같은 가수는 다시는
없을것입니다
그녀가 작고한지 70년이 훨씬 지났으나
아직 그녀와 같은 예술가는 없씁니다
한없이 청아하고 애뜻한 그녀의
목소리는 두번다시 들을수없음이
나를 슮프게합니다
