There are not enough "stars" available to do it justice when rating it. Everything about it is simply perfection. It is the most played disc in my collection. Whenever I am feeling "down" on it goes and it never fails to lift my spirits. The glorious sounds that Norman produces are out of this world, soaring aloft, transporting you heavenwards:one moment literally making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and the next filling your heart and soul with a warm glow as she reduces her huge and refulgent voice down to the most beautiful whispered pianissimo.

The depth and range of her voice is perfect for these songs. I heard the Strauss on a radio 4 programme for the first time and was amazed and hooked: the music is poignant and rich without being maudlin. Buy it. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Spine tingling, By Gekko (Liverpool UK) - See all my reviews This review is from: Strauss, R.: Four Last Songs etc (Audio CD) I have heard several sopranos singing Strauss's Four Last Songs, but in my opinion Jessye Norman's is the best. Her voice is so pure and seemingly effortless to reach and hold the perfect note with perfect timing. Apart from the fact that this soprano's voice seems well suited to this particular music, there is some extra quality to her voice which makes this performance outstanding.

The music is played with precision and panache, but the recording dates from 1991, so the quality is not as high as more recent recordings. One for the true fan of military ceremonial. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful The Band of HM Royal Marines, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Band of Hm Royal Marines (Audio CD) The versatility of this band shows no bounds.
