Thanks to you I had the privilege of hearing and then meeting Madame Baltsa a year or so ago. I had always loved her but had never sen her live and wasn't prepared for her stage presence. When she came on she was L'Italiana and afterwards was all graciousness.

Happiest of birthdays

Agnes has offered me my first experience of true operatic bliss: The 1984 Herodeion/Carreras/Ponelle Carmen.
I admire her ever since. One of the trully great Artists of our times.
Happy birthday!

Αυτή η γυναίκα διαθέτει μια τέτοια σύνθεση χαρακτηριστικών που είναι μοναδική και την διαφοροποιεί απ' τους παρακείμενούς της. Αυτή είναι και η έννοια της μοναδικότητας.
