However, Gérard Verlinden and almost all other reviewers heard a most lovely tone in Brahms’ ‘Liebestreu,’ whereas she really impressed in an aria from Verdi’s La forza del destino. Even if she didn’t win a prize, she still was awarded with an honorary diploma, which would make her who was this young lady, who managed to distinguish herself with a controlled performance of aria of Verdi’s La forza del Destino, in a field of around 100 participants?
