With All Due Respect to Cavey

Thursday Cavey put up a video of André Rieu singing Ave Maria ( Schubert) (OK, Leningrad Cowboys, They Ain't... ) . & while she does a beautiful rendition there is still 1 performer who will always be the touchstone against which i measure every other version, Perry Como.

Even Pavarotti, good as he is, still doesn't measure up, IMHO.

    I just heard Perry Como's version of Ave Maria, for the first time, last December.

    TH2, not that I doubt you, but I do find that hard to believe given how ubiquitous his version has been on records & TV since I was a wee bambino.
