Back in the summer of 2007 we went to Blenheim Palace with some friends to see Battle of the Proms - a fantastic night. We were sat quite a distance from the stage when a blind opera singer, Denise Leigh, was introduced. She started singing and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, I was amazed. I promptly left the wife and friends to get a closer look and to hear clearer - what an amazing experience.
She sang Song to the Moon by Dvorak, and I'll never forget it - I've always loved live music but this sort of stuff is not my normal cup of musical tea.
Here she is on stage........
Here's the song sung by Anna Netrebko.......
