Indeed ! Very many thanks.

I would never have imagined that Joan Hammond's voice would have managed such demanding music, but this was truly a wonderful performance !

[@grahamrankin]

I agree---demanding and successful ! Very many thanks.

Truly a gem my friend.

Thank you so much for your appreciation.

Excellent performance. Almost on a par with Dame Eva Turner. The coronation year 1937 performance with Turner and Martinelli is an amazing performance.

[@grahamrankin]

Many thanks for that insight.
