This is a masterpiece of a song that is so hard to sing unless you are classically trained. So for Cheryl to song this like she did should be commended.
Blimey. Only took me 11 years to find this. Absolutely stunning performance by both ladies one complementing the other. And it happens to be one of my favourite arias. Cheryl Baker is a lady of many and hidden talents and well done to Kathryn for just being one of two and not trying to overshadow Cheryl. Class act.
Look guys this is one of the hardest duets ever to do, Any moron who is classically astute can pick this to pieces, this piece takes years to master and for Cheryl Baker to perform this piece in such a short space of time as well as she did.......she deserves a hand shake for that performance, good job.
Foxworth, what are you on? are you completely tone deaf or stupid, most likely both. you are listening to this on your computer, you will never get the full benefit unless you hear this live and from the reaction of the audience.........they smashed it. With regards to your comments about Katherine Jenkins, they are so off the mark, I simply do not know where to start. Katherine Jenkins may not have a qualification in teaching but from the performance I have witnessed, she is more qualified than most. Additionally I think you are a teacher Georgia, probably didn't have the balls to make a go of it in the real world and opted for the easy option of teaching. Katherine Jenkins and Cheryl Baker, put themselves out there and made it in the real world and left their mark. What has been your contribution to the real world been, I can probably sum it up in two words....F@UK @ll!
+Alan "The grimSickle" Defoe She is tone deaf? Really? have you ever watched a single opera in your life? Your pathetic arguments don't take away the fact that Katherine does not know what the meaning of song is.: 0:42-0:51 HORROR 0_0 she doesn't use correct musical vocab and is saying stuff that is just meaningless. I don't know how people think she is a great "classical star" or "opera star"... she doesn't know how to sing opera! And o I work in the opera community did I mention? you are a loaf who is an obsessive KJ fan who complains about the MUSICALLY EDUTCATED, and PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT OPERA! Well the truth is: WE KNOW MORE THAN YOU! AND MAYBE YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO SOME REAL OPERA SINGERS SINGING THIS: i have a list: Start with Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca, then move on to Anna Moffo, Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne, Dessay, Di Donato and etc, etc. O don't forget MARIA CALLAS! +Georgia Foxworth well these people don't know anything about opera. And they don't know what a fake KJ is and how she hides her weaknesses by slurring her runs. They only thing that I can say good about her is: She is in-tune...... most of the time :)
This piece to me is one of the hardest pieces to sing and the clarity goes without saying,absolutely marvellous and first class,they both deserve medals.
For someone generally known for pop music, to essentially re-train your voice to perform classical pieces is no easy feat. Cheryl did bloody well to perform this. There will of course always be haters, but one question..."Think you can do better?"...I doubt it very much.
Almost just too beautiful for words, magnificent voices great orchestra; how simply sublime girls. I’ve played this piece over an over; will never tier of it.
Cheryl baker sang brilliantly, l would not have guessed she has never done this before, Catherine has we know is out of this world. I like Cheryl baker, she you can tell is a beautiful kind natured person and it came out in her voice. The flowers are for them both.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is soo damn awsome, the harmonies of them are perfectly fitting, it is sooo damn unbelievable what Cheryl Baker mastered in this short time, the timing, the note, everything was perfect ❤
I didn't watch this series because I despise reality TV but, having been told about this remarkable singer, I genuinely regret not having seen Cheryl Baker's discovery of her outstanding talent. Cheryl if you read this - you're damned good
This is proof there is a god . no thing like women singing when it's right .thus is majestic .I sang as a kid with all city choir .conductor Mr motley Leonard Bernstein.and Andrea Watts on piano. At Lincoln center 16 years old what time in my life .and to hear the sopranos in rehearsal oh mY god
In reading these posts by viewers who both love and hate the way the two singers do this work I am reminded of the quote by Emerson: "That inexact science of subjectivity." To each their own, it seems. This was a noble effort.
Well this was a programme that passed me by. Who'd have thought it? Cheryl Baker, singer of lightweight pop songs (no offence intended) coming out with this? That must have been one heck of an ambition fulfilled for her. Wonderful.
No you aren't. I loved it and the stupid comments below are just that - stupid. This is a style that would help people who don't the screechy sound of Sutherland learn to enjoy opera.
Screechy? wow you only listened to her later recordings when her voice was deteriorated. listen to the pre-1973 recordings, she sounds like a dazzling songbird with JUST MAGNIFICENT TRILLS! Katherine has never done trills in her life!
Wow, interesting version, here in Germany, we do not know Cheryl Baker, I looked it up and wow one of the most breathtaking opera duets ever and she just made it - okay, one woman - one word, two women - two great voices.
Surely this is the most beautiful love song between two women. When I listen to this music and the singers I'm just transported to a dimension I can't really comprehend but can still be enraptured by.
This piece is a big deal vocal duet you can expect a faultless performance from Miss Jenkins, naturally. But little Cheryl Baker was an absolute revelation, fabulous, bloody well done 👏👏👏👍xx
She had a few nerves and a couple of wobbles but I enjoyed listening to her . A difficult piece to sing especially when you,re out of your comfort zone and doubly if singing alongside a professional singer of Katherines status , who I have to add , did a great job in supporting Cheryl ......well done both .
Have you listened to the same duet with Anna Moffo? Gorgeous. That is how its done people! ANNA MOFFO, WHO IS ACTUALLY AN OPERA SINGER WHO IS AT THE SAME TIME BEAUTIFUL
Vibrato is a natural vibration in the vocal chords that shouldn't be "used" or forced (even though some people do:P) some have an uncontrollable vibrato that actually makes their tone and pitch off b/c they can't control it. Katherine doesn't have that but she does happen to have a very fast light vibrato, that's why she's what's called a lyric mezzo-soprano. true it doesn't appeal to everyone but it's just her natural voice.being natural which im pretty sure hers is, it won't damage her voice
It is the harmonies that make this song and these two nailed it.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve heard in my life!
How beautiful voices ❤❤❤
This is a masterpiece of a song that is so hard to sing unless you are classically trained. So for Cheryl to song this like she did should be commended.
One of my favourite duets. Loved Cheryl & Katherine's rendition they blended beautifully. Two very charming attractive ladies appearing on stage.
Blimey. Only took me 11 years to find this. Absolutely stunning performance by both ladies one complementing the other. And it happens to be one of my favourite arias.

Said it before and now again.....there is no room for academic snobbery on UA-cam

Well, look to Amira Flower Duet and yuo see it better.
Don’t agree at all and time will prove me right!
Almost just too beautiful for words, magnificent voices great orchestra; how simply sublime girls. I’ve played this piece over an over; will never tier of it.

I was astounded that cheryl Baker could reach that operatic range. Absolutely love her! 💘
I’ve never seen this before I came here. Cheryl did an amazing job! That was sublime!
This is soo damn awsome, the harmonies of them are perfectly fitting, it is sooo damn unbelievable what Cheryl Baker mastered in this short time, the timing, the note, everything was perfect ❤

Esta es una de las composiciones para dueto más hermosas que existen. Y estas dos estrellas lo hicieron maravillosamente bien
What an amazing opera!!! And they sounded great singing it!
To all the musical experts here, I don't care what you think, I'm just enjoying two women singing my favourite duet of all time.
This is proof there is a god . no thing like women singing when it's right .thus is majestic .I sang as a kid with all city choir .conductor Mr motley Leonard Bernstein.and Andrea Watts on piano. At Lincoln center 16 years old what time in my life .and to hear the sopranos in rehearsal oh mY god

this was such a brilliant program, needs to be done again. how can they say no when this happens, just so so good.
I am surprised at Cheryl Baker sounding so good.. well done Cheryl fantastic rendition😮🎉🎉
Stunning sound, stunning blend, stunning!
They were GREAT! Singing opera is extremely difficult, and in the short time they had to practice they were amazing.
In reading these posts by viewers who both love and hate the way the two singers do this work I am reminded of the quote by Emerson: "That inexact science of subjectivity." To each their own, it seems. This was a noble effort.
Well done Cheryl! How lucky to get the chance to do this.
Cheryl Baker has done an amazing job.
Absolutely wonderful two amazing ladies in perfect harmony Cheryl and Catherine you are wonderfully matched love it.

This is music of heaven & I love Katherine Jenkins. I wish I could meet Katherine.
Well this was a programme that passed me by. Who'd have thought it? Cheryl Baker, singer of lightweight pop songs (no offence intended) coming out with this? That must have been one heck of an ambition fulfilled for her. Wonderful.
Am I the only one who loved this?
No you aren't. I loved it and the stupid comments below are just that - stupid. This is a style that would help people who don't the screechy sound of Sutherland learn to enjoy opera.
+Linda Marek Awww. Don't diss Sutherland!!! :(
Screechy? wow you only listened to her later recordings when her voice was deteriorated. listen to the pre-1973 recordings, she sounds like a dazzling songbird with JUST MAGNIFICENT TRILLS! Katherine has never done trills in her life!
I loved it.
I love this too
Just beautiful!
Wow, interesting version, here in Germany, we do not know Cheryl Baker, I looked it up and wow one of the most breathtaking opera duets ever and she just made it - okay, one woman - one word, two women - two great voices.

Absolutely brilliant - superb - breathtaking - really moved me.
Cheryl did herself proud and deserved to win.
She was robbed by the British public!
Who knew Cheryl could sing like that!
Surely this is the most beautiful love song between two women. When I listen to this music and the singers I'm just transported to a dimension I can't really comprehend but can still be enraptured by.
I'm no expert but that was lovely! :0)
Well done, especially Cheryl. Didn't know she was up to singing the high notes. Wonderful,both of you.
Wow, Cheryl!!!! I would not have expected that! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I am not an opera buff, just a peasant who likes good music. Maybe not technically perfect, but they sounded real good to me.
This piece is a big deal vocal duet you can expect a faultless performance from Miss Jenkins, naturally. But little Cheryl Baker was an absolute revelation, fabulous, bloody well done 👏👏👏👍xx
