you can hear how much recording cut off the huge size of her voice.

This video does not show her at her best due to the sound mix. It does sound fat & steely, however this is not how she sounds in the house. She is buoyant, easy, old-world sounding, and very touching. Love Sondra.

I saw her last night at the Lyric as Elvira...astounding! The role is very difficult.
-
I like the power and eveness of her voice , the good coloraturas but don't like the fast vibrato.

This is NOT good in the beginning! I saw her in Trovatore in LA and it was ravishing. What's going on with this? I notice she sounds a little better in the actual performance/dress rehearsal? Not one of her best roles
-
I love her voice, and technique. BRAVA Miss Radvanovsky!
-
For me she sounds old and not very tigerlike and aware what to do with this Verdi...! I dont understand why she is such often at the met singing the Verdiroles! Gorchakova is not only better in interpretation, she has the voice for that and Mrs. Rodvanowski is coloring her voice up to much dark ....like an old Soprano sound... NO NO NO! Better for her to sing Adalgisa ....

I saw Ernani at the Met this season, but Sondra was ill the night I went. Her understudy got to make her debut that night, and the girl was wonderful. I did get to catch Sondra singing Elvira when they did the radio broadcast.
She is one of the greatest Verdi sopranos of today but I can't find a DVD perfomance to buy. What is wrong with this picture?
Of course, I enjoyed this video. Criticizing an artist for irregularieties in a rehearsal is silly.
