Amazing Voice: Carlo Bergonzi

I like classical music. Opera not so much. However, when I heared Carlo Bergonzi, perhaps seven years ago, playing on my radio, I was so impressed that I could not forget the aria he was singing. It’s ‘E lucevan le stelle’ from Puccini’s opera ‘Tosca’. Since then I have heared the greatest tenors (Pavarotti, Carreras etc.) sing this aria.
I still like Bergonzi’s interpretation the most.
Carlo Bergonzi was one of the great tenors of the 20th century. He died in 2014 but his amazing voice is still with us.

Amazing Voices: Alison Krauss And Shawn Colvin

Alison Krauss and Shawn Colvin are both great singers in their own rights but I just love this duet. It’s pure magic. This is as good as Simon & Garfunkel’s original song “The Boxer”.

Amazing Voice: Odetta

A year or so ago I didn’t even know that she has ever existed but since I’ve heared her rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which is by far the best rendition of that song, I just couldn’t help loving that voice that comes from the depth and touches your soul.

Amazing Voice: Maria Farantouri

Greek singer Maria Farantouri is a legend. Her distinct, poweful voice gets only better with age and transports you to a different dimension. You don’t know where you are. All you know is that you are somewhere else. This is especially true for the first video.

Amazing Voice: Lena Chamamyan

Of all the musical instruments I find the human voice to be the most fascinating one.
No other instrument comes even close to the range of expressions that the human voice can produce.

When an artist isn’t just blessed with a great voice but when the artist knows how to use it, then something truly exceptional is created.
Lena Chamamyan, a Syrian-Armenian singer, is such an artist. Enjoy!

Incredible Voice – Out Of This World: Ofra Haza.

Everytime I want to cleanse my mind from the filth of this world I listen to this song.
My favourite song from my favourite singer. Beautiful is the only fitting attribute and yet it doesn’t remotely justice.
