Barbara Bonney is always distinctly herself: tender, personal, with a sound that is not out of place singing John Dowland or Pergolesi, yet makes perfect musical sense for listeners of Schumann, RIchard Strauss, and Fauré. It doesn't get any better. Thank you, Barbara!
Ms Bonney is one of my fav opera singers too and yes this piece would be lovely for church. The lyrics are: Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem, requiem sempiternam. Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest, rest everlasting. Thank you :)
@OperaBuff1935 Ms Bonney does sing like an angel :) I and the whole world are very grateful that she has shared her God-given gift of music with the world.
I first saw Barbara Bonney in "Ariadne auf Naxos" back in 1991 (?) with Dawn Upshaw (she was Echo) in the performance that Jessye Norman starred in, and have followed her career ever since. She sings like an angel, doesn't she? I have a Netfliix of Brahms'Ein Deutches Requiem" in which she sings the soprano part. I'm going to play it tomorrow and know that I will derive much comfort from her singing as she sings about the comfort one finds in God. Brava, diva Barbara!
Yes - voice of an angel is most appropriate, and this comes from a singer, a music major who holds a Bachelor of Music Degree in Choral/Vocal music from CSULB. Not all sopranos can perform this equally - Barbara Bonney does the job.
Thank you ... BB has a sublime voice...I am very happy that you like the video...the photos...hard to say...it was a while back...I diligently searched the Internet and thank goodness the photos that I found happily worked with the concept that I had in mind for this song. The last photo....Google Jesus in heaven under 'images'...thank you for taking the time to view the video and to comment favorably upon it.
Para mi gusto, la mejor intérprete de Música Sacra. Interpretación, adecua el color de voz al tipo de obra, timbre, matices, adaptación perfecta al tipo de oración. Ejemplo: Ave María de Schubert, "Et incarnatus est" Misa en Do menor Mozart y este Pie Jesu.
I am absolutly speechless. Not only about this brilliant voice. The Video, which you createt is so wonderful...I got tears in my eyes. Could you please tell me, where you found those incredible photos and pictures? Especialy the last one....
She's one of my favorite opera singers. I desperately want to learn this song to sing for church. Wouldn't it be beautiful for church?!! i think so. lol Does anyone know the lyrics?
Warm, slow, controlled, mature and beautiful. I think this is much better than the other female versions on youtube.
I love the way Barbara sings this, it is so pure and ethereal. Effortless and floating.

Um Musik Frau Bonney Anteil bringt Freude für mich.
Undoubtedly...we are so fortunate to have these recordings for posterity.
What a voice! I have not heard any singer of this class.
Ich stimme Ihnen zu, niemand singt "Pie Jesu" besser als Frau Bonney Vielen Dank
ANGEL! The best interpreation of Faure's Pie Jesu! Bravissima Bonney!
Barbara Bonney always starts my day right.
Even though I don't understand this language, it was sung with so much passion, that I feel the loving.
I get goosebumps listening to her sing. She has the most amazing voice I have ever heard. Googled her and she is as beautiful as her voice.
I herd this song from Gantz. It's so beautiful
I agree :) Barbara's voice is unique
and stunningly beautiful.
All the best.
The only two song I have heard her sing are this and ave maria. She is incredible.
Voice of an angel
This is the true voice of a true angel on earth. Thank Miss BB for being such wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful, tender voice and lovely video of spiritual image. It is a gift. Thank you.
Ms Bonney is one of my fav opera singers too and yes this piece would be lovely for church. The lyrics are:
Pie Jesu Domine,
dona eis requiem,
requiem sempiternam.
Merciful Lord Jesus,
grant them rest,
rest everlasting.
Thank you :)
