@PrimaRagazza Yes, you are being overly critical. I find little fault in the intonation, and as for the coloratura -- while not quite on par with her earlier version, compare it to Susan Graham's, why don't you. The only slight imperfections I can find is that she takes a breath in the middle ...

Nope, sorry. This has some nice moments, but overall Rasmussen still does it for me. So warm and unforced.
