I like to think of these Nimbus recitals gaining converts for the old singers - it is part of the declared aim and I have known instances where it has happened. The Nimbus sound helps considerably to put her in a stage-perspective; in the solos it takes the voice out of the box of a studio and puts it, not into the bathroom as more severe critics of the system would say, but into a place where it has room to expand and thrill, almost as it did when heard in Covent Garden or the Royal Albert Hall.
