I agree that Sting's comments are naive and ridiculous, but, disturbing grammar and spelling aside, they may be just an expression of the fact that he believes in his approach. God, what is he, forty (or fifty?)-something, a musician and he's hearing Debussy for the first time? Unbelieveable.

If there is one thing that Sting missed in talking about normal voices, it was that his does not possess that degree of anonymity. It is undoubtedly him singing, with all that may bring. If there is another thing he missed, it is that like so many trained professional singers from David

Something that has exasperated me since the late 60s and still does on some recent recordings, is the inability of many singers a) to sing the words in front of them, and b) to sing them so that a listener can understand them - it is as though the content is inconsequential and musical

Having also played in costume on a few occasions, a lot depends on how you do it. If you simply sit up on stage and play in costume, much like you would in a conventional concert, I think it ends up looking a bit affected and adds little to the performance. Adding a bit of theatre with the
