Two mezzos discuss roles. Both believe in a religion of hard work.

Joyce thinks it can also be fun. Dame Janet stares her down.

Wonderful conversation.

    A truly remarkable conversation/interview! Two very lovely, intelligent and classy ladies with tremendous experience and knowledge. There is much to be learned here for all musicians, not just singers.

    What’s not to like about this!! Two fabulous singers, both non-diva Divas, talking freely and joyfully about their singing experiences, and sharing out of their wisdom. I am not a singer but enjoyed this immensely and found much that also related to playing an instrument, and in fact to life itself.

    O wow, I had to come out of my Slipped Disc commenting retirement just to say how wonderful that was, thanks Norman.
