Don Satz writes to answer Mark Seeley concerning Barbara Bonney: >Barbara Bonney was on the cover of Gramophone a few months ago and has >been reaping much public acclaim in recent years. I think she's married >to another classical vocalist, but he doesn't count. Oh, come now. You are undoubtedly speaking of Haken Hagegaard, who most certainly does count, but to whom she is no longer married. >Bonney has recorded some Mozart operas, just had released a cameo disc of >Mozart arias, and recently had a recording devoted to American composers. Her Rosenkavakier with Anne Sophie von Otter and Felicity Lott ain't exactly chopped liver either. >Bonney is relatively young, blonde, and would generally be considered >attractive . . . She is an American who has made a wonderful reputation in Europe, where (obviously unlike here - nothing like being a prophet without honor in one's own land) she is very highly regarded. Rather like Upshaw, she is considered, in addition to being attractive, a real class act. Jane Erb [log in to unmask]
