This is good but I prefer Leontyne as Donna Anna. Elvira was written to be comic relief (always foiling Giovanni's plots), there's far more coloratura written to Elvira which Leontyne lacks. The way Leontyne sings Anna is passionate, dramatic, classy and elegant which is right on the money for the character of Anna
