my mom was a coloratura (opera singer, high end of soprano)
Here's a piece she used to sing...(I love Maria Callas...)
Maria Callas - Puccini - O mio babbino caro

Well, you have to listen to some Pavarotti.
here he is, perfectly in voice, back in 1978,
Luciano Pavarotti - Ave Maria, Notre Dame Cathedral, Montreal 1978

I've always liked the Vienna Boys Choir...such pure voices...and, for me, just about the embodiment of perfection:
Christmas Songs

And this one, in German, but I just love the rendition. I do speak a little German, my family was from Leipzig, so maybe I am biased towards them...I don't know...
Silent Night (in German)
++++
nice rendition of the Bolero
Wiener Philharmoniker - Maurice Ravel - Bolero - Regente Gustavo
Pavarotti is one great talent. So love listening to him.
Many years ago I saw the opera Romeo et Juliette in French. Front row seats in NYC. Tickets were a gift. I loved every moment of it. It was beautiful.
I admire anyone who can sing like that!
I will have to wait until the holidays to fully appreciate the Vienna boy's choir. Thanks for posting
