| Well, he certainly seems unaware of the adjustments that have been made for many Goldes over the years. Karnilova had an unusual voice, and the original keys worked for her voice. They have caused problems of one sort or another over the years for many — not all, but many — Goldes in other productions, as well as many musical directors in other productions. I'm sure you know all this. As a music critic, he should at least be able to realize what the problem might be, even if he hasn't listened to the extreme choices that can be heard on some recordings of the score to accommodate Goldes who can't sing Golde's music in those original keys. |
