Schubert's Ave Maria by Deanna Durbin
Deanna Durbin, at age 18, singing Franz Schubert's masterpiece. Here is what Schubert had to say about this song, in a letter to his father:
"My new songs from Scott's 'Lady of the Lake' especially had much success. They also wondered greatly at my piety, which I expressed in a hymn to the Holy Virgin and which, it appears, grips every soul and turns it to devotion."

This is just beautiful! I love Schubert's Ave Maria and Deanna Durbin sings it so well. What a voice! She is also one of my favorite actresses from the 30's and 40's.
Thanks for sharing this!:)
