#KathleenFerrier on the record.

"What Is Life?" Indeed. For some of us it's the sublime voice of English #contralto singer #KathleenFerrier, a gift to this planet, whose life & all-too-brief career was cut short by cancer at just 41. Her rendition of the aria "What Is Life?" from #Gluck's Orpheus and Eurydice, is glorious. And it's impossible not to be deeply moved when she sings "Have Mercy, Lord, On Me" from #Bach's St. Matthew Passion & "Agnus Dei" from Bach's Mass in B Minor: https://youtu.be/HYRhIIYx0jY
