    Working in Toronto during summer 1975, I found and height tracks cassette of J.S.Bach favorites...And Kathleen was there with this imparable Agnus Dei !... Being "full deeply touched", I cried, but not without a strong desire to learn and sing it ...to be again deeply-divinly transported ! Kathleen amasing,softly trembling voice penetrates each word of this text ! Post-mortem THANKS to Kathleen and Johan-Sebastian!!

    I have known about Ferrier since I was a teenager in the 60s. I still have I think it is Deutsche Gramaphon of her from my father's collection. (He had come to NZ from London before WWII.) I preferred Brahms as a teenager but have grown almost to default to Bach or contemporary music of various kinds. She is for this music. Her voice seems to has that extra depth. She was one of the great singers. Her husband encouraged her to sing.

    When I was 10 I was given a biography of Ferrier for young readers , a Sunday School prize ! and it fascinated me. I didn' t hear her voice until I was a young adult and it lived up to expectations... i am still amazed by how how beautiful it is from top to bottom of the range ..no booming or hooting. Its a pity her sister destroyed letters. Wonderful zany sense of humour

    Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, która brała udział z Kathleen Ferrier w nagraniu Mszy h-moll z Wiedeńczykami w 1950 roku, wspominała później, że Karajan po Agnus Dei rozpłakał się jak dziecko. Jak Kathleen Ferrier mogła tak śpiewać kiedy wiedziała już, że jest nieuleczalnie chora. W jej głosie jest tylko piękno i harmonia, widocznie wiara, którą miała była silniejsza od lęku i bólu.... Brak słów. Najlepsze wykonanie Agnus Dei Bacha jakie znam.

My kind would not have been allowed in many a salon or lieder hall to hear this music . How Anderson did it Icant imagine . What has been lost now that radio music has taken its turn .

      Voice of the Firmament, Different time, different style, different approach to performing Bach. Both Scholl and Ferrier are to be treasured, it seems to me. Boult allows the music a spaciousness which it doesn't usually have in today's historically informed performances - a spaciousness which Ferrier is uniquely equipped to exploit . . .

    • @JussiPaul
