Actually, I think it's crappy compression high notes on YouTube, not Kiri.Em

Could it be because of the ambiguity of the textural meanings sometimes? Because there are some songs that I've sung (classical songs) which are in a foreign language and where a particular section of the lyrics can be intepreted more than one way, and I wasn't sure which was the intended meaning. Anyway, I do agree with your last sentence. Very aptly put.

I don't think there is any dispute about her being sweet and gracious etc. But I have to say that I heard from a conductor that she once didn't know about a certain phrase as being sad or happy so she had to ask the condoctor! is that why in England she is almost being made fun of on TV shows etc? I like her style personally as she has something to offer that is associated with her and I can identify it. Any singer who has something positive to be remembered with is great in my opinion.

To those who think that Kiri doesn't sing with emotion, I don't know how you can say that after hearing this. It couldn't get any more emotional without the voice breaking down.

Thanks! I know some people who have met her - they all said that Kiri is the gracious type, very sweet, very humble and down-to-earth, unlike other famous opera singers who act like divas. I'll meet her in Oct this year when I play with her as part of the orchestra, and I'll let you know after that if she's really how she seems like. But chances are I can't be very far off.

To sll who post negative things on the character of Ms. Te Kanawa all I would like to say is that a very close and dear friend of mine knows her and has said that he has never encountered a sweeter more generous singer. He describes her as a simple lady who treats everyone with warmth and respect. I have never met her but I believe my dear friend. There is no denying that her voice was (is) beautiful and she gave it her all.I hope we all can aspire to give so freely of ourselves too. Thanks.

LaBelleHelene, did you receive my reply? I'd like to know it, because I'm not sure if it was sent correctly, and I don't know when it's going to be be added to this forum.

Would you mail it to me?, please...And, as you said..., pushing the feeling under the table is the best you can do, because she's really exquisite. Don't let any hard feeling take from you any wonderful one she may give you when singing... Ever. |
