Teresa Stich-Randall possessed a voice that was somewhat divisive among opera fans in her day. Her slender soprano was technically proficient but at times produced a tremulous sound that was not to everyone's liking. If you find yourself among those skeptical of her talent, I would encourage you to give her a chance in the recital repertoire, which she sings with admirable vocal control, musicality, and interpretive insight. Her Frauenliebe und -leben is among the finest versions of this song cycle I have ever heard.
