My favourite Slovenian, Bernarda
Fink was born in Argentina but her parents were Slovenian and according
to the internet her husband is Austria’s ambassador to Slovenia so she must
live in Ljubljana
now. More to the point, she is a super-fabulousistic singer. Great in Bach and Handel, shines in Mozart, and her Schumann recital makes me think that
maybe I’ve been wrong about Schumann all these years.
Ms Fink
doesn’t perform much in opera now but everything on YouTube is great. Here she is in Handel’s “Ah, whither
should we fly” from Theodora, I think
at Salzburg in
2009:
