Schubert - Ave Maria - Deanna Durbin

Deanna Durbin, at age 18, singing Franz Schubert's masterpiece. Here is what Schubert had to say about this song, in a letter to his father: "My new songs from Scott's 'Lady of the Lake' especially had much success. They also wondered greatly at my piety, which I expressed in a hymn to the Holy Virgin and which, it appears, grips every soul and turns it to devotion." Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus
