Jessye Norman could read the phone book and still be phenomenal.
So true 😆😆😆
Ms Jessye Norman is full of love and grace in person. She is so surreal. We thank God for all the years she has blessed the world with her true gift "Her Amazing Voice"
This lady was so full of life and beauty, it pains me that she is gone from us. Her music will stand the test of time. RIP Miss Norman.
Agree. A light has gone out in this world, leaving it a little colder, drearier, and merciless.
May she rest in eternal glory. Ms Norman was a miracle.
Wow so up close I love the way she speaks don't care what others have to say about her voice she has the most Amazing Speaking and Singing voice Rest in Power Jessye 💜💜💜💃🏾🎭
I always dreamed to attend a class with Jessye.... thank you for inspiring my singing career. We will always remember you...
Jersey Norman, is a phenomenal artist and human being. I pray her legacy stands that future generations may experience her beauty and humanity...
I would have loved to have been part of that class !!
Me too!
Yes!
Wonderful interview, watching her listen to her performance is like watching her sing it. Audio team needs a lil help though hehe.
Why, why I was not there ???
Jessye , we miss you so much !!
Rest In Peace .,
may God bless you !!!
She still is the best symbol of freedom of expression friends, young generations can learn so much, having some kind of atitude, of artistic personality, of genuine nature, having style, classy and that precise will to surprise the audience all the time, Opera is not an easy job to do, that's a fact by now
Mostly I listen to Punk Rock Ramones, Blondie, New York Dolls, but also Rolling Stones, etc. etc. but I do listen to two opera singers i.e. the glorious Jessye Norman and Karita Mattilla.
Blessings, R.I.P
Amazing voice and talent. Astonishing sound. Other worldly. The overly affected speaking is odd. Rest in peace. There will never be another quite like her.
BRAVO !
Rest in peace Miss. Norman
Great opera singer. Rest in peace. 😣😣
amazing
Marie Robinson was the first black to sing the role of Sieglinda in a fully stage performance in Graz, Austria in 1974.
WHat is going on with the sound with the musical exceprts here--so sloppy if this is made by the Aspen Institute!!!!
How frustrating that must have been for both Smith and Norman. Horrible job in the sound department when this should have been checked and rechecked prior to this class. Norman has a reputation for being a force of nature and a perfectionist when it comes to her craft and she had to endure this. Must have been excruciating for her.
For whome passed away singer she asks for a moment of silence?
Rip
Starts around 7:00
There's no audio.

The sound is unforgivably bad. I am shocked Ms Norman or Ms Smith just ended the interview and walked out. Disgraceful and utterly disrespectful.
Her voice was made for Wagner- her Seiglinde is incomparable.
The sound guy needs to give up and find a new career. Truly embarrassing.
Who the fuck is that interviewer and how dare she? Jessye was clearly uncomfortable during a certain part of the interview
Love the fake accent.
If you spoke several languages, and sang in those languages, and performed in the highly stylized art form of opera, and lived and worked a good part of your life in Europe--you might not find her manner of speaking fake.
Are you trying to advertise your uncultured state and your ignorance? If you think her accent is "fake" you need to get.out into the world more.
watch out, Harry K, your ignorance is showing..
HARRY K, please tell us more about yourself. Where did you learn to speak English, for example, and where did you learn German and French before you sang these languages in the largest concert halls of the world.? Your very limited mind once prevented Marian Anderson from singing publicly, a fact that even now has cemented your place in the trash bin of human history.
This is how she's spoken her whole life and lived in Europe for many years you dumbass 🤬
