This kept coming back to my mind today — Jeanine de Bique rehearsing Rejoice Greatly from Handel's Messiah. She sang it at the BBC Proms too — here — which is amazing, though they took the beginning a tad too fast IMO.
But this snippet of her rehearsing is, I think, the best of all. Just glorious.
I can't remember if I've ever posted it before — excuse me if so. What a phenomenal gift she has, eh?

Ooh! Not a term I knew. I looked it up — sounds spot on. She's amazing. Like a bird.
