Dear Ms. Geraldine, as a retired senior U.S. diplomat, resident in Geneve for the past 16 years, we spend much effort getting to concerts, recitals and operas here and elsewhere in Europe (and in August in NYCity). We surf a great deal re music and have several Internet friends with whom we exchange notes. We thus came across your photos of Thomas Quasthoff; your comments were right on the mark! We also are fans of Austrian mezzo soprano Angelika Kirchschlager and this requires much surfing as she has NO SITE! (The Sony one is so out of date it is useless!) We have attended about ten of her performances, mainly recitals (two more coming up this summer in Austria; Quasthoff's site will give you the dates/places of her duets with him in 2006). Do you have any photos of Ms. Kirchschlager -- to add to about 250 I have found so far? We have large files of reviews, audio sites, a dozen recital downloaded CDs, another dozen tapes/DVDs from TV broadcasts, etc., all with the aim (sometime!!) of creating a fan site (with my MINIMAL PC skills!). All the best and look forward to hearing from you. Luisa and Rod Wright, Geneve, April 13, 2005
