Well that is quite sad. She is a true artist.

I don't know what their deal is. It seems the English speaking critics had a fall out with her, and anytime she releases a record now, they say she is "hopelessly mannered"... as in faking emotions. They even say that about her as Sesto in the magnificent Salzburg 2003 performance of 'Tito'.
I think she is the best voice actress since Varnay. L'Authentica!!

What do the critics say? how can you not love this???

She does indeed! The English speaking critics dis her for it, but I don't care. Musically she's totally in character. One doesn't have to understand the language to know what she's feeling. I bet a lot of singers would want to know how she does it. Amazing!

Eh? It's Kasarova's late 90's voice.... but no picture of her anywhere.
