The great soprano Sena Jurinac died earlier this week, aged 90. In this film from Glyndebourne 1955 she sings 'Porgi amor' from Le nozze di Figaro. I'd challenge anyone to find a purer and more directly from-the-heart performance anywhere.
Here is her obituary from The Guardian.
This Friday Historical is additionally dedicated by JDCMB to all those who have been forcibly separated from their loved ones.
