By the way, each is an amateur artist — that is, each doodles around with pencil and paper. And Deutsche Grammophon’s publicity materials feature art from both of them. Mr. Villazón is a cartoonist, ebullient; Ms. Netrebko works in a higher-brow realm. One of her drawings is meant to evoke “The Pearl Fishers.” It is a semi-nude, female — hubba hubba.
So is the New York Sun not quite a “legit” paper? Otherwise I can’t imagine how those last two words could be printed. Sigh.
