The most beautiful Ave Maria ... in Spanish

+

William Gomez' setting of Ave Maria is one of the most beautiful settings of the prayer to the Blessed Mother.  I include below the video of Elina  Garanča, mezzo-soprano, singing it at Christmas in Vienna 2007.



Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis peccatoribus 
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
