The first time I heard Ave Maria, it was on my Dad's stereo. It was the Schubert version, played on trumpet by Al Hirt. Because it was the first time I'd heard it, the Schubert became my favorite version and I eventually learned to play it on trumpet.
This one, sang by Andrea Bocelli.
Simply beautiful.
Perry Como sang this at the end of his Christmas Secial each year. As a kid I knew Chrismas was near. That man had a fine singing voice and had class
