520			_a'Music is in her blood. Not only is she a proven and accomplished exponent of our classical music (but) she also has the elasticity to adapt herself to any demand made upon her voice by music director. She has an instinctive ability - informed with knowledge and fine perception - to embroider with shade and nuance any composition she renders. In a manner which enhances its beauty and appeal with indescribable effect ... Her technique is so polished that she needs hardly any rehearsal. You have only to get her to go over the lines of a song half an hour before recording and you can be sure that she will be correct to the last detail. I often marvel at the memory and the enthusiasm of this gifted singer. So immersed is she in her art that she thinks nothing of missing meals to record a song.'
