Diamanda Galás version of Gloomy Sunday

Here's one of my all-time favourite songs, in an interpretation that finally does justice to it: Diamanda Galás as she performs "Gloomy Sunday":
Diamanda Galás - Gloomy Sunday - YouTube

Though the audio quality of this recording is debatable, Galás interpretation puts this version skyhigh above all the rest of the (sometimes REALLY pathetic) versions that are currently posted on YouTube (more than 500 offerings, at the moment, most of them negligible). Those other contributions to the "Gloomy Sunday" canon on YouTube, now THEY make ME gloomy.



Malediction and Prayer, released 1998



The Singer, released 1992

Now, go check out Diamanda Galás' CD's "The Singer" and "Malediction and Prayer" for versions of manifestly superior artistic (and sound) quality.
