I enjoyed the Keith Miller interview. I am also an admirer of his tremendous vocal skills. A couple things, however, jumped out at me in the interview regarding older colleagues. His search for a bass in what Mr. Miller regards as his prime should've yielded a notable Met colleague; Ferrucio Furlanetto. Also - Fritz Wunderlich passed at the far too young age of 35 robbing us of the opportunity to hear what no doubt would've been a remarkable artist at full maturity. I say this because Mr. Miller mistakenly spoke of how wonderful Wunderlich
sounded at 50 years old.
