I don’t know quite what to make of this. My understanding was that she was a mezzo soprano. My previous experience with her was as Vitellia in the Decca Clemenza di Tito with Krenn and Berganza, where the bio clearly describes her roles as mezzo soprano, and a live recording of Rossini’s Mathilde de Shabran in which she sings the clearly mezzo role. That being said, this isn’t all that bad. Not perfect by any means, mainly good coloratura but some questionable pitches- I’ve heard worse! Admittedly the voice quality is an acquired taste for sure!
