this is potentially a strange topic, but since I'm more active than usual on BWW tonight, I thought I'd pose it.
whenever I listen to Passion, I'm reminded of how much I think Donna Murphy's voice sounds like a clarinet. there's something about her range and the timbre of her voice that just...reminds me of a clarinet. I have a hard time pinning anyone else's voice down so specifically, but I'm thinking Victoria Clark would be a violin. her voice is too warm to be something like a flute, and I think a violin is the string instrument pitched right to be compared to her voice.
anyway, has anyone else ever thought of this before? what singers and instruments do you compare?

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
