Let's see now -- Kiri Te Kanawa is a youngish (at least by my standards)
soprano from New Zealand and Alicia de Larrocha is a "mature" pianist from
Spain.

Other than the fact that they're both classically trained female musicians,
what's to compare? Seems a bit like comparing (to return even marginally to
our topic) Red Savina Chiles with Yukon Gold Potatoes. A person may LIKE
one more than the other, but the comparison serves little purpose and it's
intent seems no less self-serving than this response to it.
