I think that if you start taking about operatic tenors and bel canto you are talking about Domingo etc and not early music singers who do not sing in that style. I suppose it would have been not such good PR to say I don't sing like Domingo and I also don't sing like those early music singers who have tried the last few years to find out how this music was sung. Instead it is better to put all non-sting singers into one big compartment and say the way you singer is "normal and then put a sticker on your CD "recommended by classical experts". Especially when the classical experts are the DG magazine. All the best Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
