Our attentive followers may still remember my youthful determination to become an incarnation of Jessye Norman’s regardless of my entirely different physique and vocal endownments. At the same time, I idolised yet another singer whose vocal and physical qualities represented the other extreme. Emma Kirkby, the queen of baroque singing, was extremely popular in Hungary. A few years ago I had the opportunity to hear her in a concert live. It became clear to me that narrow specialisation has its dangers and benefits just as “omnivorous”, a chameleon-like career I already talked about on my own example. In this video I would like share with you my thoughts about this experience.
