I felt like starting a new religion after this.
But seriously, I wish this kind of letting-it-rip were standard. Ok, it would be hard for Bach singers, although L.H. Lieberson did show us how, but I am so sick and tired of the robots out there.
It takes a lot of self confidence to do so. But, c'mon, if you've been invited to sing in the best opera houses in the world...
I've been fortunate enough to have had a private lesson with Marilyn Horne and her words "let it rip" still ring in my ear. Thanks Marilyn. Rock 'n' roll!
