I suppose most women sound more like women than Daniels does. And I
suppose if that was his goal, he has failed. I don't believe that this
is his goal. He is trying to approximate for us the experience of seeing

high with ferocious coloratura. In this respect, he succeeds with flying
colors. >>

life long after I've left the opera house." Maria Callas
