At the farewell for L.C.M.
Saunders, at a Messiah
which was to be his last
official review for the New
Zealand Herald, LCMS
mentioned a memorable
and moving performance
of Messiah with a totally
sightless alto soloist; no-
one was left unmoved as
she sang ‘then shall
the eyes of the blind be
opened.’
