Another listener was the late Herbert von Karajan, who asked her to sing some Bach at the Salzburg Easter Festival.

There is scarcely a word about Anthony Trollope, a writer of smaller genius, perhaps, but whose insightful portrayals of women and politics nonetheless make him seem prophetically modern.
