<div><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thanks Markus
for this.<span> </span>You’re certainly right about
the fascinating blog.<span> </span>I’m nothing like
through with it.<span> </span>Does “one of my
spectators” have a name ?<span> </span>He certainly
deserves an author/translator credit.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I was particularly
interested to see that you had secured the Itami version of <i>Atarashiki
tsuchi</i> of which I have only seen brief clips.<span> </span>In fact, I was only told last month at a
presentation at SOAS that the Itami version had been withdrawn from circulation
by the Kawakita Foundation.<span> </span>So well done
- I wish I had known earlier.<span> </span>I very
much hope the program will travel.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I am pleased
that the blog eventually starts addressing Yamaguchi’s singing voice.<span> </span>Yamaguchi - in particular as Li Xanglan -
was a voice phenomenon if anything at all.<span>
</span>I only spotted one word about that elsewhere in the links.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I recommend
anyone who can to go and listen to Markus' program.<span>
</span>Is her voice “tremulous” or “<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/sep/22/yoshiko-yamaguchi" target="_blank">a voice
that hits every note in the middle, without a hint of vibrato</a> “.<span> </span>It can’t be both (although I just slightly overstate it).</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">best,</span></div>
