Davrath was an extremely gifted and versitile performer, who sang just
about everything imaginable.  She died rather young (about 52 or so).  Does
anybody know why she died so young? Her "Songs of the Auvergne" is still,
in many ways, the best of all of them, despite recent recordings by such
singers as Frederica von Stade and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
