What's going on in the heart of Sylvia as she's singing Et incarnatus est?

Okay.

Let's get real here.

Et incarnatus est is eight and a half minutes long.

That is one long aria.

You know, he wrote it, I guess, for Constanza.

And the only other piece I've ever sung that even competes with it in difficulty and length would be those two arias... that are back to back uh from the abduction from the seraglio traurigkeit and martin a la artin you do those two back to back and it's more than eight and a half minutes in any case the the edin karnatus est is not something that i recall having a sublime experience with because Quite honestly, I was just trying to get through it.

Are there specific teachers or mentors early on that shaped you and your musicianship and your way of looking at how art can intersect with humanity in a beautiful way?
