Dear Judy and co vocalisters,
Judy wrote: 'Oddly, though, I do not consider Ms. Bonney's singing (at least in art song literature) to be very highly sexual. [...] To my ears, her voice fully blossomed only in the Scandanavian songs, when it took on a wonderful full and vibrant golden qualilty that was quite stunning.'
I just listened to my Bonney CD's again, and the Mozart, Schumann and Schubert songs I also know from her, are indeed in that aspect all quite different from the Scandiavian songs on her new 'Diamond in the snow' CD.
So I share your opinion in this issue. I will not give a amateur psychological explanation for this, alhough I am quite tempted, since Scandinavia is where BB lived with the before mentioned HH, well, enough of that. Maybe it is just because she started to work on this repertoire later then the other, although even this is unsure.
Thanks for the observation,
best greetings,
Dré
