Talk:Ave Maria, WAB 7

Discography
The work originally score for alto soloist, is also often sung by a baritone.

Out of about 20 commercial recordings, only a few are performing faithfully to the score, i.e., singing the difficult two-octave Amen: Anne-Marie Owens on Simon Halsey's CD (1990), and Sigrid Hagmüller on Rupert Frieberger's CD (1995). Other better recordings are Ingrid Gunther on Hubert Gunther's CD (c. 1980: organ replaced by string orchestra), Petr Matusek (1994: baritone), and Vera Ilieva (mezzosoprano, c. 1999: transposed by a minor third to A-flat major). --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:18, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
