Awww Notre Dame de la voix... breathtaking

She was wonderful.

Magnifique !!!

wonderful.

Possibly the best rendering together with that of Victoria de los Angeles...I just can't understand why these 2 versions show up in the You-Tube list way behind those of Nana Mouskouri, Joan Baez... etc. I don't mean to criticize the latter two but they are just not in the same class as Janet Baker or Victoria de los Angeles.

I am so sorry if I gave the impression that I misunderstood your comment.I am sure that you,like myself, appreciate the lovely voices of ALL the ladies A beautiful song sung by one of the greatest singers.of our or any other age.

la musica traspasa el aire de belleza infinita

She didn't make me cry!!!!!

René Pariente Voix magnifique et sensible

I don't think the two mentioned would consider themselves as good as Janet Baker ever ,different worlds but all enjoyable.

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'on moment Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie J'ai toute quitte pour l'ingrate Sylvie Elle me quit et me prend un autre amour Tant qur cette eau coutera doucement Vera a ruisseau qui bord la prairie Je t'amerai, me repetait Sylvie Mais l'eau coute encore elle a change portant

I think you misunderstand my comment which was not meant as a criticism of N.M. or J.B. who are great singers in their own light. It was aimed at the hierarchical presentation of this song by KZread ...!

This posting saddens me, in that it was recorded ten years after her voice was at it's glorious best, and shows signs of the lack of confidence that this great artist had to battle.

The best voice I've heard sing this - even better than Jennie Tourel. But I like this song better with a single instrument instead of an orchestra. Tourel sang it with a harpsichord, and a guitar or piano works too.

A harpsichord? How dreadful!

Victoria de la Angeles and Janet Baker are classical and opera singer while Nana Mouskouri and Joan Baez are pop and folk singers. Right, this is not the same repertoire and the latter ones should not sing classical because they have not the right voice for it.

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment, chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie, Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant. Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment, chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. "Tant que cette eau coulera doucement vers ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie, je t'aimerai", me répétait Sylvie, l'eau coule encor, elle a changé pourtant. Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment, chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.

Beautiful version - but I'm also a fan of the English-language version as sung by Elvis Presley. ;)

Better than Elvis!

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say Nana M. and Joan B. SHOULDN'T sing classical - after all, everyone has a right to his/her illusions... What is shocking is the way in which the "grain" and "chaff"are mixed up and fed to the public...with no concern for their (in)digestion !!

Peerless

She is terrific!

wonderful.
