This vocal performance is amazing.  Her control of dynamics, her vibrato (on the "ng"!  Do you know how hard that is?!?), her range (those lows!), just...(chef's kiss)

I think you'll like this one.  A different take on "Now We Are Free" from Gladiator.

 

Regardless of what you think of them, the Russian version of The Voice is stacked with talent.

Pelegeya is like the Russian Floor Jansen - she can sing pretty much any song in any style and make it sound good.

Every time I listen to this song I think about how very barely I can, in fact, keep it all together. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe that is just the experience of becoming old, jaded and dissolute?

Just so pure and classic.  Makes me think of my vocal teacher from back when.  That vibrato is so gentle and subtle and perfect.

True story:  Kenji Kawai wanted to use Bulgarian folk singers for that, but couldn't find any (in Japan), so he had the Japanese folk singers (that he worked with before) learn how to sing like that.  (Paraphrasing the rest from memory, so it may not be accurate.)  By the time he was done, he had created a new genre, with Bulgarian harmonies, but distinctly Japanese notes and melodies.
