5.0 out of 5 stars KANAWA WOWS ME WITH HER VOWELS, October 26, 2002

By	Duane E. Crawford (Rolette, ND USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Italian has to be the best language for opera singers. The beautiful Kiri Te Kanawa sings soulfully of love, family, and tenderness. I listen to CD opera on Saturdays because I can't readily get public radio. This is not tragic stuff. Puccini in Turandot turns out effortless beauty. I am anticipating a heavier Verdi. Il Trovatore and La Traviata have to be everyone's favorites. I like the lyric soprano and mezzosoprano. If I wanted to hear shreaking, I'd have stayed married. Not really, but it is a good line.
