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.
