Escucharla con los ojos cerrados es transportarse al ser interior y aparecen inmediatamente recuerdos y momentos y de alli, sonido y sentimientos se covierten en tristeza inmensa e infinita.
It’s truly amazing the power of music…this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my entire life. It was so exquisitely composed that people might find their hearts and their souls listening to it. It’s just marvelous, divine and profound... No adjective could ever describe such an overwhelming masterpiece. I’d dare to say that this song takes your mind far beyond your reality to the land of dreams!!!
She is an angel on earht singing for deadly people like you and me, but she will live for ever. God!! evry time I hear her voice I feel like I´m in heaven.
I just found my heart and my soul listening to this masterful composition and exquisite interpretation by Ms. Jo. Just marvelous. Divine. Exquisite. Profound. It is perfect love and peace contained within song and harmony.
Cada vez que escucho esta canción .. me imagino el dolor .. el sufrimiento de una mujer caminando por las calles oscuras de una gran ciudad en soledad ..cosas extrañas que puede transmitir la música verdad !!!
A call for adventure, the lure of the mysterious, a cautionary tale which equally warns and also fascinates, Wojciech Kilar's masterfully builds in 4 minutes a beautiful tale which leaves us ambivalent to the true nature of danger. The harpsichord sparkles guarded by solemn and unflinching piano chord. We are aware that we are thrust in world that spiritual forces are in motion. It is the sound of an old world knocking back at our doors. Old Europe in its former Baroque decadence , Medieval Europe in all its obsessive pursuit either with the expression of the divine through its cathedrals or morbid fear of a seductive Lucifer. Then comes the voice. Classic, feminine, non threatening but unsettling, strong but not motherly, mysterious but somewhat too familiar. What is this thrill? We listen to the melody which comes to us in waves, relenting, retreating, circling us, caressing us, then leaving us only when we admit not being ready to part with it yet. At first we are not necessarily stricken by an overwhelmingly beautiful melodic device but our defense bow down to its relentless nature. It build and builds and never allows us to breath nor to wonder where it is taking us. By the time we get to the second phase of the Vocalise at 1:30 we are not only eager to give ourselves to the music but we are equally curious. The melody has just changed rising higher and higher. What is happening we ask. Vocalise stands as the musical expression of how even the strongest of us will fall to the seduction of what might even seem simple, banal, unassuming, harmless. It's not its sheer power that finally defeats us. It is its relentless nature that little by little chips away our mental resistance. The bakery on our way to work which after 6 months of smiling at us finally serves the doughnut we once laugh at, this sitcom based on ridiculous premises which grows on us by the 10 episodes. I could be the embrace or the kiss which we never aimed for that once entertained in a moment a levity leave deep roots which blossomed in indestructible obsession. By the time we succumb to the temptation, the true nature of what we've given ourselves to reveals itself fully. at 3:33 the dark change of chord expresses amazingly the realization that we've opened the flood gates, that while we are basking in pleasure we are fully aware that we are signing away ourselves to an unbeatable force. We've been deceived and now suffocating in this fragrant powdery coat of danger we are too weak to say no. We have been deceived and maybe we yearned for that thrill.
I don't know how a voiced of an angel sounds like but when i heard her, Sumi Jo's voice this could be the voice of an angel so relaxing, so inspiring, so peaceful... Thanks for sharing.
You can lose yourself so easy on this ... U can picture heaven , love , and all those things that puts you closer to god ... And when it s over i wanna play it again to find that feeling again and maybe this time it won t go away when the tune is over..i want to keep that state of bliss again and again like a junky but i can t ..a thought comforts me : you will
I saw her in St. Petersburg, Russia with little Jackie Evancho and Dmitri Hvorovstovsky at a concert called "Bouquet of Opera". I loved Sumi. She was flirtatious and and completely charming, and like a surrogate mother to the little American singer.
no words...no adjetives.....no way to explain this voice....and THIS song...its...like to be drinking a beer in the sky with thousands of angels.....floating....watching the world going on...
Who needs words with a voice like that? Listen to it and feel a million memories struggle to find the meaning....all closing in on something important and focal in your life. Then finding it's release. Money can't buy that emotion.
Who needs words with a voice like that? She is reaching down deep into your long forgotten soul, rekindling lost memories, lost passions. Touching what you thought was vanished and offering a guiding hand to what is possible. Rarely such a voice comes our way.
I don't know what the voice of an angel sounds like but when i heard her voice, Sumi Jo's voice this must be a voice of an angel so peaceful, so relaxing, so inspiring... thanks for sharing. I love it.
ethereally sung Sumi spins her magic and voila we are moved deeply and profoundly! Her mezza voce is tender and devoted. Her Coloratura never forced or pushed her ability to find the delicate sweetness of this haunting melody and never force the vibrato and volume brings rich depth and yet a lightness that makes this piece Amazing!
This woman has beautiful voice! Absolutely gorgeous.... And Wojciech Kilar is great!!!! 9th gate without this music .....wouldn't be so interesting.... Greetings from Serbia (Europe) :))))
Whoa...... That is the most beautiful song that I have ever heard in my life. This song is gonna be in my mind forever and ever and ever and ever. I'm not sure how long but it is so beautiful that I just want it on my mp3 player
I;ve never heard this before -thanks for posting, oaanaa. The music is fabulous with Sumi's voice ethereal/celestial/Heavenly. And yes - the picture is awful of her - she's such a gorgeous looking woman - but not in this photo!!
I like the picture...its very dramatic...and the song is superb. She also supplied the vocals for some songs from Bram Stoker's Dracula soundtrack, also by Wojciech Kilar.....another FANTASTIC soundtrack. I would strongly suggest you check it out if you liked the Ninth Gate soundtrack, and you know whats good for you! :)
Superba voce! Este de fapt una din vocile preferate ale mele langa si pe acelasi loc cu: Virginia Zeani, Angela Gheorghiu, Mariana Nicolesco, si alte voci divine: Florica Cristoforeanu, Elena Cernei, Hariclea Darcle, Arta Florescu, Maria Slatinaru, Eugenia Moldoveanu, Maria Cebotari, Maria Bieshu, Silvia Sorina Munteanu, etc. Daca ai ocazia sa asculti "The Flower Duet" - Lakme - Delibes, o sa ai o surpriza foarte placuta. Sau Regina Noptii - Flautul Fermecat, sau Ave Maria - Caccini.
@TheNadia61 You have all the right tastes in music - I listen to this during the day while I am working and also see the film from time to time. I don't like that photograph either but thank you for the music - very haunting and I hear it even when I am not listening
LIke many I share the view that the photograph is sadly not a good one. But the music reminds me of so many things that are so easily forgotten in this mad, lost world! If this music makes you think of floating angels - then you are truly fortunate! And gifted to be alive!
I found this song a few days ago and i must say that i can`t stop listening.... the feeling is so impressive....what a magnificent voice and interpretation, i think that i`m kind of falling into some kind of magic forest... the idea of the beer is not bad at all...haha, maybe in the middle of the forest there is a beer fountain...XD...anyway..beautiful!
La voz es tan etérea, tan pura. Ésta canción me transporta. ¡Gracias Oaanaa! The voice is so eterea, so pure. This one song transports to me. ¡Thanks Oaanaa!
I love how this is just pure vocal with no words.
Her voice is incredible.
This song is perfect.
My favorite Movie. My favorite Music and My favorite Composer.
Escucharla con los ojos cerrados es transportarse al ser interior y aparecen inmediatamente recuerdos y momentos y de alli, sonido y sentimientos se covierten en tristeza inmensa e infinita.
Her vocal is a unique instrument. What a delight it is to listen to
It’s truly amazing the power of music…this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

This is a 3 min shortcut to heaven
BRAVO Sumi Jo !!! God-given gift used so beautifully . . . . . . .

mil veces la oigo y me estremece hasta las làgrimas, impresionante interpretación!
So sad and at the same time breathtaking...
I love the lyrics of this song. Lmao.
Sumi Jo sings like an angel. As Karajan said, her voice came from Heaven

Me parece andar con mi Angel por los mundos celestiales....que Voz, que manera de transmitir.....
Sumi Jo, la soprano más grande. Su voz roza lo sobrenatural.

I got addicted to this song! It's heavenly indeed!!
I don't smoke or drink, I don't need too, Sumi Jo does it for me! She sends me to another place stone cold sober.
Long live Sumi Jo
just perfect her voice is sooo emotional
Music of Wojciech Kilar and voice od Sumi Jo give us perfection...
Feel like walking into an empty park at dusk with this music playing in the background and then you see a burning light in the distance
This gives me goose bumps ,that is how you know music is good ,better then good ,a near masterpiece.
I saw her in St. Petersburg, Russia with little Jackie Evancho and Dmitri Hvorovstovsky at a concert called "Bouquet of Opera". I loved Sumi. She was flirtatious and and completely charming, and like a surrogate mother to the little American singer.
Comment ne pas succomber à l'envoûtement de cette voix?
Ce morceau est magique Sumi. Merci
Omg this is beautiful!!!
i wish she had a live performance of this on utube!!
I'm in tears every time I listen this song... I'm so emotional... sorry.
I love her voice. I can't help but my tears just running down. Her voice touches my soul...so beautiful. ........a long sigh...
Im so lucky that i get a chance to sing this.
no words...no adjetives.....no way to explain this voice....and THIS song...its...like to be drinking a beer in the sky with thousands of angels.....floating....watching the world going on...
Who needs words with a voice like that? Listen to it and feel a million memories struggle to find the meaning....all closing in on something important and focal in your life. Then finding it's release. Money can't buy that emotion.
wow, fantastic
I don't hear heaven. I hear melancholic sadness; a yearning of the lost. Inspite of that, or maybe because of it, totally mesmerising.
i normally don't listen to this classical type of music but this piece just really gets to me..Simply beautiful!
this is wonderful
I got to see her live!

Her Coloratura never forced or pushed her ability to find the delicate sweetness of this haunting melody and never force the vibrato and volume brings rich depth and yet a lightness that makes this piece Amazing!
Just vocalise, no words yet full of emotion. Gosh, she makes me cry. It's too beautiful.
I loved this movie for so long, before realising it was the soundtrack... so dreamlike...
There's a simple word which can express everything: Gorgeous.
hermoso tema interpretado por sumi ,me encanta aunque es un poco melancolico
Es realmente increíble! No me canso de oírlo!
Absolutely mesmerizing!
A master piece!
Thanks for this.

La voz es tan etérea, tan pura. Ésta canción me transporta. ¡Gracias Oaanaa!
The voice is so eterea, so pure. This one song transports to me. ¡Thanks Oaanaa!
The song was composed by polish composer Wojciech Kilar. He has written many great and beautiful songs.
