For Christmas 2013 I am inspired to post my absolute favourite carol, "O Holy Night" which to me is head and shoulders above the rest . . . . . so haunting and melodic and moving.
And what more can we ask than these great tenors to sing it for us, probably two of the greatest tenors ever to grace the earth - Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti.
Enjoy, and like me no doubt you will be greatly moved and I promise it will give you goose bumps.
Here it is "O Holy Night".
But to get the English words here is another version with Charlotte Church and Placido Domingo.
Omg - I've found another version by non other than Luciano Pavarotti. Gosh! Wonderful! Sorry, to listen is a must.
Omg again!!! I've found yet another version by a wonderful mezzo soprano - Denyce Graves - she is wonderful and I've fallen in love with her and want to marry her!! She has such a beautiful voice and sings the carol in English - this is the LAST version I am posting, honest! But at least you now know the carol by now. Her voice though is so powerful - enough to shatter any chandelier or wineglass.
Oh dear I am in such a dilemma because I have found yet another version I like even better by Rennee Fleming - soprano - and yea I've fallen in love with her too LOL.
Renée Fleming [Soprano] - O Holy Night on MUZU.TV.
Oh, Denyse Graves! I love her! She has a wonderful voice and is gorgeous, to boot! :) Thanks for sharing one of my favorite christmas songs! Love the tenors, too!
