Part one of an interesting and exciting podcast in which we can compare various sopranos singing the great "Pace" from Verdi's "La Forza del Destino." As usual,with this kind of program, I will not list the sopranos here, because I have designed the podcast so that you do not know the names until each group of three has been played.
Peace be with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember: "Gli enigmi sono tre...Charlie รจ una!!"
