I Felt That The Studio Recording Process

Opera Is For A Lifetime, Not Just A Minute.

When I Perform Strauss, It Is As If The Music Fits Me Like A Glove. My Voice Seems To Lie In A Happy Area In This Music, Which Is Lyrical And Passionate At The Same Time.

That's Been My Sort Of Aim In Life, To Never Miss An Opportunity.

When I'm Alone At Home, I Really Prefer To Listen To Wagner's Orchestral Music Rather Than Any Vocal Music. I Find It Illuminating Not To Have To Pay Attention To Voices In The Recordings.

I Knew That I Could Be More Creative Onstage, To State My Own Case And Deliver My Own Interpretation Of The Role Much More Aggressively Than In The Recording Studio.
