Ave Maria

~ Recording by Luciano Pavarotti, National Philharmonic Orchestra, Kurt Herbert Adler

Annotation

I listened to an excerpt from this recording on Amazon with a view to classifying it as to whether it had the original German words of the Latin Ave Maria text but it sounds to me like modern Italian.
