Quotes

“When I speak of singing, I do not consider singing to be an artistic exercise but the possibility and the means by which to recognize oneself and to transform this recognition into conscious life.” – Alfred Wolfsohn

“This was a far cry from singing beautifully. In the beginning it was a squeaking and a squeezing, a screaming and a peeping; and out of this developed a different kind of beauty, the beauty of the dared expression. Like out of the days of the creation, something emerged that was not only beautiful, it was authentic, and this authenticity was nurtured, polished and repeated until the ear got accustomed to it; or let us say the ability to hear underwent an equally intensive training.” – Marita Gunther
