Dame Kiri had such a long, successful career, in my dreams I would love to quiz her about how she feels her voice developed over the years and at what point, looking back, she felt she was at the pinnacle of her singing ability. These early videos are fascinating, when, I presume, she was billed as a mezzo. Did those top notes in later years feel natural to her?
I adore Kiri, and saw many of her fantastic performances in New York. But this show is so awkward, almost painful to watch, especially the lack of affection between Kiri and her husband.
