    Lucky you. She was sublime in Mahler IMO - in the Ferrier and Baker premier league for me . Ludwig's favourite conductor was of course Leonard Bernstein as she made clear in a 2004 interview with the Guardian - she said , however , HVK was more sensitive to singers " if you were in bad voice he got the orchestra to play loudly and drown you out "
