I have seldom heard German sung with this exquisite attention to elocution and diction, ever before. And those pipes! Brava!

She really sang this like no one else I've ever heard. Some of the most stunning vocalizing I've ever heard, and this video captures her sound better than the commerical recording she did for Philips.

Dear Jessey Normous...

[@welshboy82]

@whatdoyouthink? Nope. It's a little joke that many singers use to describe Jessey's HUGE voice. She was an astonishing singer, absolutely peerless.
