R.I.P., Rose Bampton

She was a lovely and gracious woman. Quite elderly when I studied with her, and still able to spin out a lovely line.
The Times nailed it I think, her voice "attractive rather than thrilling."
It might seem damning with faint praise, but not to me.
That was the essence of her singing. It did attract, it drew one in.
God bless her and take her to Himself, where she can join in, as the words of E'en So, singing "holy, holy to our Lord."
