It also totally destroys Stings simplistic "normal voice" comments. Today I heard Sting say on radio that most Dowland recordings were by operatic tenors. Maybe I am wrong, but when someone says operatic tenor then I start thinking of Domingo etc. I don't think of a singer such as Paul Agnew as an operatic tenor. He is trying to give the illusion that there is the Sting style and then Pavarotti sings Dowland I think there are a lot of performances betweeen these extremes and even more extreme than Sting. best wishes Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
