Was browsing through my CD collection to play some inspiring music while I work - I'm a romantic as if you didn't know already. Anyway …..
Was about to grab Susan Boyle's first album when I came across another very shy lady who also won a talent competition. Nicola Kirsch was also a very shy lady who claimed fame probably in her 40's. Does anyone remember her/know who she is/heard her sing. I think she the closest I've heard to sound like Maria Callas but somehow she's gentler on the ear.
Have been playing the CD and singing along to some of the music - I'm getting strange looks from the dogs but it's so reminding me of when I was a little girl and would sing along to Kathryn Grayson - I could reach those high notes just like she did once upon a time. I can still hold a note but not like I used to - another reason to give up smoking as I'm sure that's what's done the damage. Well, that and maybe slight damage to my vocal chords during a thyroidectomy.
Have become all nostalgic now.
Tell me what you think ladies, who of the two do you prefer to listen too - if that is, you like this kind of singing and music?
Thought to add the pieces she sang on her first album, all beautiful and favorites of mine. Dreading No 10 as it was my Mum's favorite and she used to sing it to us. My Mum too had a wonderful voice and she taught me how to harmonize when we sang Psalm 23 together on Sunday Night's by the hearth while watching Songs of Praise.
