When I met the great mezzo for a BBC Lebrecht Interview in 2008 (not presently available on line), I was struck by how comfortable she was – in herself, her relationship, her past, her place in the world – while remaining full of ambition, energy and an urge to improve the world of singing.

Two of her comments are analysed here.

Brigitte is 75 today.

May she live to 100.
