I had no intention of suggesting that it was - my ears are so awash with what other people think it might have been like that I am beyond the stage of rational criticism. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 12:51 PM Subject: Re: [LUTE] Re: Sting Interview
"Something that has exasperated me since the late 60s and still does on some recent recordings, is the inability of many singers a) to sing the words in front of them, and b) to sing them so that a listener can understand them - it is as though the content is inconsequential and musical technique is all." I agree with every word that you say, but still don't think that stings performance is closer to elizabethan singing than some other "fuddy duddy" early music singer I have heard.
