Into
every Christmas season, there floats a bit of lagniappe or two, just happening
along to Bright you. Sometimes these
floating, ethereal wonders have the gentle touch of a caught breath, and others
have the impact of a crescendo-wave---they sweep you away so fast and so far
that you’re swirling and swallowing and tumbling, and at last left gasping on
the damp sand.
Caro
called down the stairs just now, “Mama, when you have a minute, look at the
program from Rockefeller
Center . It’s all cued up, and you just can’t miss
this song---it’s real and she’s not just pretending for the camera like the
others---you can even see her breath fogging the air.”
And
a voice like this seems as if it WOULD dominate and take over the entire being
to whom it’s entrusted. It must have a
life of its own, brilliant with tone, and vibrant with joy and power.

I'm so glad you got to see this. The original Mother Superior did such an amazing performance it is hard to believe anyone else could ever even come close, but this in it's own way is as good as if not a "superior" rendition.
