AMAZING! She clearly "enlightened" her wonderful and distinctive voice (a rarity nowadays!) to sing this aria with a sweeter and more "plangent" tone and phrasing. The result was stunning! Her legato, great pianissimi and perfect style are the most amazing things about her singing! IMO she's one of the best Elettras ever, especially because she knows how to sing it dramatically without singing harshly. Instead, she always sounds fantastic!
Couldn't agree with your assessment more....she sings this beautifully...often times the singer struggles to bring this aria off without sounding too harsh..she carries this off wonderfully.
