content: I am very familiar with all these songs, having sung them myself while a student with Martial Singer. I think that her interpretation is better than many singers I've listened to, most of whom think they are singing Italian music. But I was really disappointed with her vocal technique. There are some really ugly sounds here, strangly juxtaposed, and as different one from the other as milk and vinaigre. Sometimes a really lush, large voice is evident; then, there is a tinny, harsh or whiney bit. It seems to me that, if you have a large voice, piano or forte are measured within your particular vocal diameter; and sounding strange for effect, if done too often, is just strange. Given the praise I've read of this singer, I was amazed.
