tina,
it appears that you agree with me on this. concerning horne and von
stade, i think of horne as being all or, mostly light mechanism and von stade
being speech based. horne has even said (hines' "great singers on great
singing") that she would imitate men singing in falsetto. von stade, to me,
almost sings like a boy (her singing always reminds of the smell of a candle
store).
