Hi, André! In Zürich, isn’t it? She does have very loud (in the shriek-y sense of the word) high notes. I guess it is going to be very unsubtle and not exactly beguiling. But they are probably going to hear her acuti way back in Geneva and Lausanne.

Wtih such gaps in her voice, I wonder how Dussmann manage to sing Kaiserin these days… That´s what she´ll be doing in the next months…

Comment on More Handel by rml

Thank you! The content on re:opera is being entirely reviewed before it is posted again on another website. As the process is taking more time than I thought, I have decided to slowly publish the content with some reviews in red (meaning that it is being rewritten). Mozart will be the first to be republished (soon, probably next week) and Handel will follow.

Hi. I am looking for re:opera that used to be at geocities. I always enjoy rereading your reviews. Now that the page is gone from geocities, could it be anyplace else?

Hallo, Kostas!

Please bear with me when I tell you that I would rather not involve myself in any campaign pro or against any singer. In the past I was unwillingly dragged into a Cheryl Studer manifesto when someone spread links to my website all over and I ended having to deal with hate mails etc. I apologise and count on your understanding.

Roelof! Long time no see!!! Great to hear from you! And you’ve been secretly reading the blog all that time… Do send an e-mail telling how you’re doing these days.

See you,
Rodrigo

?? I tried to comment earlier today? Nevermind… Remember me, Rodrigo? Your pal from Holland? I have been following your blog, because of all the nice comments – one wishes more reviewers out there would share your taste for nuance and detail. And – I second Bookaroo’s comment on your opera discography. For me, it was _the_ place to look before I ventured into a new opera. Better than all other discographies, which are always looking for “the” best and ultimate and definitive recording – even if often, such a recording doesn’t exist.
Best regards – Roelof
