Suitable youngish timbre. But why is not chestvoice taught anymore. All singers nowadays have weak lower register making them ”halfvoiced”.

Lovely sound and presentation. But why do most sopranos ignore Wagner's dotted-notes, at In lichter waffen, and smooth it out? I suppose I answered my own question -- it sounds more legato, but it isn't what Wagner wrote. The only recorded sopranos who are scrupulous about the score, that I know of, are Elisabeth Grümmer and Elisabeth Schwartzkopf.
