    1. Obviously you are with Wilhelm Busch: "Musik wird störend oft empfunden / dieweil sie mit Geräusch verbunden." - Music as it's noise-related / is often not appreciated. ;-)

    1. Being young oneself, everyone with more than thirty years is stoneold. ;-)
      As for Dame Olga Maria Elisabeth Friederike: Well, her voice may have been impeccable, but ...
      She got stoneold, though. That's life.

    1. When it comes to superlatives I am cautious. But certainly she was very good. / Quan es tracta de superlatius, sóc reservat. Però era molt, molt bona.

  4. She had a lovely voice, although I haven't time to listen to the whole four hours.

    1. I wouldn't listen to her for four hours straight either. But sometimes here, sometimes there.
