I love Marilyn Horne. She brought brilliance and fire to whatever she sang. I understand that her strenght resides in her steadiness in projecting her voice with high volume and precision. Her runs are excellent. At times, I find the voice a bit too throaty and the vibrato excessive, taking away some clarity in the trillos and in some runs too. I am not always touched by her interpretations. I would like to hear more pianissimos,legatos and more changes in colors and dynamics. But singing in huge theaters, the style may suffer a bit!
