Lyric:
Innumerable are the diamonds
in the stone caves,
Innumerable are the pearls
in the midday sea of
miraculous far off India.
There is in the warm sea
a marvelous ruby stone,
on that stone is a phoenix
with a face of a maiden.
Heavenly are all it's songs,
sweetly it sings,
it unfurls it's wings,
and covers the sea.
Anyone who hears the bird
will forget everything.
Innumerable are the diamonds
in the stone caves,
Innumerable are the pearls
in the midday sea...
of miraculous far off India.
How could this glorious sound come from a human throat?
Ponselle was unique.
Aetion - her best langusge was that of MUSIC,

The glorious rendition of this song can surely never be beaten - a pure work of art. And what a gorgeous stylish beautifully blended and striking visual presentation - which itself would take some beating. Just wonderful - thank you for this priceless video.
Happy are People Who have ears and can use them to hear every detail of this voice
Everyday I listen to Ponselle and
Everyday is like the first time
Everyday I hear Something knew I hadn't noticed
Thank you very much.
Thank you for posting this!
@infrantasi thank you for your comment.
Ponselle and Milanov had the same tonal richness, but Ponselle was the better artist, able to sing in many languages and did a memorable Traviata, Norma and La Vestale. She was so stylish too!
Ponselle's voice in this somewhat "doctored" recording has a wave (bordering on a tremelo) that isn't heard in unprocessed versions of this record. The singer's voice, at this stage of her career, was known for its steadiness.
giordani19 Her voice was known for steadiness at EVERY stage of her career. I hear no distortion in her voice here. It sounds like it always does -- the most glorious singing I have ever heard.
@Aetion
yes, she had a good pronunciation of French and German also.
M.
La voix de ROSA PONSELLE me fait penser à celle de RINA GIGLI
I have just cleaned the cracks - the voice did not touch! I compared with the original... and don't know witch kind of tremolo you hear? Mine version is just clearer.
Beautiful but the voice and the lyric in the info section don’t match.
