Bleeding chunks
She sounds better than she did when I heard her do Isolde in Duesseldorf with Connell Byrne under Gunter Wich in January 1978. On most of these extracts she is steadier than she was there and her sense of pitch is better than I remember it too. She certainly was a very good Heldensopran and it is good to have these examples from the 60s and 70s recorded (presumably off the radio) in her prime. The coloratura is a bit laboured in the Mozart but the Wagner extracts on disc 2 are well worth hearing. However there is little continuity; we leap from opera to opera with rapidity and many of the cutoffs are rather insensitive. Sound is not bad.

wonderful. Why did this woman get sidelined ? She is excellent in such a wide repertoire ?
