Sometimes I wish we could take all those "non-specialized" listeners and ship them off to a desert island for a month with nothing but recordings by Bjoerling, Corelli, Caruso, Thill, etc. Then, when they return, we can play them those Bocelli, Amante, and Watson CDs again, and they can realize for themselves exactly what the difference is between the REAL opera voices they were immersed in for a month, and the "mockera" voices they used to mistake for the real thing.
