Performance for colleague Hastings-on-Hudson, NY June 22, 2012 8:30 P.M.
He loved the purity of pitch and sound…his comment was that I used vibrato in some places but not others, and because he found the purity of my sound so persuasive, it made him wonder if I might consider not using any vibrato. Personally I have not even considered this and have to think it through.
Non-vibrato as an 18th century norm, or as an 18th century aesthetic never appealed to me, and I believe that the notion is flawed to begin with.
