Annaz 'Extended Breathing Routine' is spreading Internationally ...

My Dear Breathers, I'm happy to say your number increases by the minute !! As one unknown member of an audience, sitting behind me at a concert in Stockholm recently, in which 4 "Simsonic Breather's" were singing, tapped me on the shoulder, and said "You won't know me, but I'd like to tell you I can 'hear the inspired difference' between the singers using your Breathing Method and the other three on the platform' - I was was so surprised, and very encouraged by this charming compliment... and now I'm almost overwhelmed with interested and gifted vocalists, (thanks to Lionel Logue in 'The King's Speech' Film) many of whom have survived the rigours and disappointments of spending several years (and a lot of cash..!) in Voice Departments at some of the worlds' finest Music Teaching Establishments. Am happy to report, that in some cases, their original instinctive 'real voice' has been re-connected with minimal air control - in only three or four hours !! Amazing !!! I'd not have believed it possible, but I have made recordings, for study only, and it's absolutely true - miracles really DO happen...My travels in the last few months have taken me to Brussels, for Swedish contralto Anna Larssons' stunning 'Kundry' at Le Monnaie; Stuttgart Opera with the charismatic English mezzo Rosalind Plowright, O.B.E., for her incomparably brilliant 'Prioress' in 'The Carmelites'; delightful Natalia Kreslina here in Berko, to prepare her 'Tatiana' in 'Onegin', Ainhoa Zubillaga, gorgeous Spanish mezzo soprano, here to develop her repertoire, and the charming French mezzo Laure Slabiak, 'connecting airwise' - and enjoying singing again, after study in a conservertoire...then to Utrecht and the golden voiced Dutch mezzo soprano, Margriet van Reisen, another contact made in Brussels...and I thorougly enjoyed her splendid Cabaret at The Amstel Hotel, with Benjamin Levy and his Pelleas Orchestra of Paris, in The Amsterdam Festival..then Munich to enjoy a series of Baroque concerts with one of my 'regular breathers' who wishes to remain anonymous ...then there were The BBC Proms you know about already ...all in all, my most inspired year to date...an interesting development has been breathing with Karin Norlen, a very artistic Swedish viola player, who has discovered that she also has a really lovely voice, and we had fun this week with her Parents, both of whom enjoy singing - her Father has a splendid tenor voice ... life is full of love - and joyful...k..p b......g my Dear Friends ...
