Elisabeth Schumann sings the delightful song "Wie mein Ahn'l zwanzig Jahr" from the operetta "Der Vogelhändler" by Carl Zeller. This is a performance with the Vienna State Opera recorded in 1929. And yes, Schumann improvises with some wonderful bird whistles. Doing bird whistles was a hobby...

Deanna Durbin delivers a stunning rendition of "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's opera, "Turandot". This is the only time I have ever heard a female sing this aria AND with English lyrics. Deanna never looked more beautiful than in this clip from 1943.
