Even though Domingo is now advanced in years, he still sings with great sensitivity to the text, even though his voice has developed a wobble –– as voices invariably do with the passage of time. He must be well into his 70's by now.<br /><br />Not to be too picky, but I wish the second verse had not been presented so forcefully. It shatters the mood of serenity in "heavenly peace." <br /><br />Silent Night is, after all a <i>lullaby</i> for the newborn Jesus, is it not?FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-78606855550460331222015-12-25T18:17:23.652-06:002015-12-25T18:17:23.652-06:00Citizen Tom!
