One of my oldest friends just sent me the link below. It is of Magda
Olivero singing Panis Angelicus at age 92. About five minutes long,
though audio pick up of the voice isn't great.

About the same time Olivero was performing this, I had a gig recording
a woman literally a third her age, somewhat well known, who has
appeared several times at Carnegie Hall--and who can't sing it that
well in her most optimistic fantasies. And, despite what some of you
think, Mrs. Sanner didn't raise any kids dumb enough to reveal her
name. <g>
