I heard Futral here in Denver in "Traviata," which she performed brilliantly. I also have some of her (very fine) early stuff on CD, none of which is baroque in nature. To me she doesn't seem to have THAT sort of voice. But then, I'm one of those people who thinks that Handel operas should be shorter and rarer. Too many notes, indeed!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877408572713743323noreply@blogger.com
