1.0 out of 5 stars Genial, pero..., April 18, 2005

By 

Lost Way "Ludwig" (Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Very Best Of Kiri Te Kanawa (Audio CD)

Me parece que el arte vocal de Kiri posee muchas fortalezas y sòlidos atributos: brillantez, claridad, riqueza de colores, excelente fraseo, perfecta colocación y afinación, expresividad. Sin embargo, también carece de una mejor respiración para poder contrarrestar el excesivo vibrato que aplica a su canto. Sobre algunas de las obras interpretadas, recomiendo: Der Rosenkavalier: Schwarzkopf; Wagner: Kirsten Flagstad.
