Grazie infinite per aver condiviso questo video della grande Maureen. Purtroppo non essendo anglofono riesco a capire pochissimo di ciò che dice nella conversazione, e del testo del brano ironico (credo) e buffo che canta. Ma il solo vederla mi consola, e le sono tanto grato per essere stata il grandissimo Contralto che è stata. In Mon coeur s’ouvre à ta voix, l’arte, la commozione, la musicalità perfetta, fanno sì che Maureen, a 66 anni, conservi intatta la sua grande dignità artistica.

I like that she's playful and candid. I love the way she sings with her hands! I saw her in a Christmas concert in an Old Montreal Church

I knew Maureen Forrester as an opera singer and didn't know she could sing Broadway style. Very interesting to listen to an old TV show of Pamela Wallin, which I used to watch back then. When the singer mentions her work at Casey house (?), very touching. How easy to forget how AIDS was experienced and perceived by back then.

She is always so emotive! Thank you for sharing this! Her Samson et Dalila always makes me cry. ^_^
