Outstanding. Not one person I can think of sounds like this any longer.

The way she perfectly mirrors the trills in the woodwinds is such a masterful and subtle thing.

[@timothymiller2951]

Arguably the greatest soprano of all time, she has my vote! 💗

Grossartig

[@pietrodi1]

Sempre un piacere ascoltare la Steber, voce ricca, di bel timbro e dalla gamma omogenea, lei, che fu mozartiana esimia, in questa musica si trova perfettamente a suo agio, mostrando di essere una cantante di alto rango che meriterebbe più spesso di essere ascoltata e... ricordata!

Lovely vocal ornamentation

[@MrSkylark1]

An outstanding singer, an example to the atrocious singing (?) in the "professional" arena that has been continuous due to the accoustically affected Vocal Teachers (?) Impresarios, and Stage Directors (?) since she left.
