Yeh. There's a lot of vibrato there. And a lot of technique and a lot of intelligence. Maybe, Streep-Lu, there's too much mastery of craft for some, but, for me, when she essays a highly sophisticated piece (like the Sondheim song for the little girl in NIGHT MUSIC), she's mind-blowing. Maybe there's a need for someone to write roles FOR her--for her intelligence and wisdom. Enough with playing simple-minded heroines....? A Medea with music?
