Wagner maintains that he contracted in the settlement for an individual right to repurchase some of the properties which were to be transferred to Key Bank under the agreement.
Wagner opposed the request claiming that he had individual contract rights under the agreement which were not part of the bankruptcy estate.
Wagner now argues that the right of repurchase was a burden to the estate and points to the bankruptcy trustee's stipulated settlement with Key Bank disclaiming any interest in the right of repurchase as proof of the inconsequential value the estate placed on this contract right.
Barbara's new album "After Dark" she regards as "a really good cross-section of what I'm about: it's not false." She had a live concept album made years ago, of which she had very little control and which did not represent her very well.
Barbara at first tried to make "Che Fero" her own, but found, three-quarters of the way through, that "it couldn't be done, it's such a different style." Barbara moves easily between folk, popular and jazz, but finds classical music "an entirely different thing." On TV she also sang Falla's "Lullaby" in Spanish.
But she "does not have the Janet Baker voice:" and she "could not possibly sing Wagner!"Barbara feels some things work, eg "Carmen Jones", and the updated Gilbert and Sullivan "Pirates of Penzance", but could not sing Mabel, going to a top D flat, as she is a natural mezzo.
