From this amazon link you can stream samples of the 27 tracks on the album, which may be the only release, i.e. no DVD planned, from the movie. Then you can see if you agree with me about her voice. She appeared at our university last year with the Kronos Quartet and I was lucky enough to meet her afterwards. Here's a biography.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics' rhapsodic 98% is part of what drove me to choose this one two weeks ago, their 67% from audiences notwithstanding. Maybe one day you can stream it if you're not lucky enough to find it at one of these places.
