But I think it is more difficult to do a career as a lieder singer, and there have been less lieder singers. ↗

I always considered myself being an organizer. I'm very good at teaching singers, I'm very good at staging a show, to entertain people. But I never included myself. I never applied this to me as an artist. ↗
