Turns out it's an audition for a competition. My guess would be the
recording quality expectations for this would be somewhere between the
school program audition and the opera company audition that you mention.
That's a pretty wide range. She's sending me more info on the competition so
I can get a better sense of the caliber we're dealing with.
Actually, we're all fussing far too much. The panel will hear a few
seconds of her singing almost anything, with almost any accompaniment,
recorded on almost anything (all those "almost"s are just to shut up
the resident pedants who delight in reducing any argument to
absurdity:-) and know immediately whether she's a contender or a
wannabee. Anyone who wants to argue, make sure you're based in the
music world rather than the recording world and have real experience
of these things.
