Interestingly, when Vanguard advertised this, in its LP version, a
(real) reviewer called Jan Peerce a "Dramatic tenor". No one would have
chosen that phrase, had he or she not considered the voice *H-u-g-e*.
Fine recording, in any case.

Stinky Bollmann, helping its alter-schism as "Little Jerk Off"
Bollmann:
>Don't tell us
And who are "us", Stinky? You and your alter-schisms? Not Godunov for
the real US.
> still gnawing on that old bone.
You're the expert on bone-gnawings, Stinky, not to mention your several
Doctorates in Fecalosophy. Don't be coy about it, now....
>People write all kinds
>of irrational nonsense
Not people, "Stinky": Just you and your sort.
>in liner notes?
Wherever you, like flies' eggs, settle.
>Don't rely on liner notes for deep
>opera knowledge. Especially if I and my >alters wrote them.
Thanks for that good, good, really good advice, Stinky, - better than
all your other screeds combined.
>I saw Peerce live numerous times
That's only because he didn't see (or smell)you first, Stinky.
>I guarantee my voice was s-m-a-l-l.
Just like everything else about you, Stinky - except your stench.

Don't tell us you're still gnawing on that old bone. People write all kinds
of irrational nonsense in liner notes. Don't rely on liner notes for deep
opera knowledge. I saw Peerce live numerous times and I guarantee his voice
was s-m-a-l-l.
