@blktenorpower Hello there. I never had the chance to perform under her, but I did get to see many people in master classes she and Mr. Warfield gave. I wouldn't call her a beast. She was just ruthless about an artist being true to the intention of the composer and that one convey the idea and leave your ego at the door. I take it that you were on the short end of her sharp tongue. 8)
