This rendition is surely among the ten best recorded versions of this aria ever recorded! Enough said!

I second my comment here. After many years of listening to countless renditions of this fine Mendelssohn aria, some very mediocre at best, some very good, I stand by my comment, this is truly in the top ten renditions that I have ever heard!
