This is contrary to what I percieve about Horne, actually. I hear her as very heavy mechanism based, to the point of using what I call "raw chest" in the lower ranges, with no light mechanism mixed in. I used to do this, (in the Seguidilla, for instance) and my coaches would say "Too chesty!" Now, I realize what they really meant is "Mix some more head in down there, open up the column." TinaO
