...Her rendition of Senta's aria from "The Flying Dutchman" is incredible - and makes me yearn to hear her sing this on stage. Of course, also included is her signature role of Kundry. She brings so much more to this role than is on the page. Her identification with this character is apparent. This CD also includes a great Narrative & Curse from "Tristan und Isolde", filled with great emotion, and even some lovely legato. To hear her sing this, she simply becomes one with the character. This is a GREAT recording by one of the great Wagnerian singers of our generation. --Amazon customer
