@spqrmor She is marking...

Huge voice!

IN addition to Usulan Child I have to say:
She is the only Sondra, yes... and I think, with intelligence and the right menagement she can be as great as any of the ones on the past. She is already carrying the same tradition. AMEN to that!!!!

@kh3205 Besides Callas and Caballe the rest were hallucinating they were singing Elena - and it was a bad hallucination :))

50's alone had three famous sopranos singing Elena; Callas, Cerquetti and Stella. 60's had Gencer. 70's had Cabelle, Deutekom, Scotto, Gulin (on her good day.) 80's??
In any case, I like Radvanovsky's voice, but what's the deal with her low notes? I always have a hard time to hear her voice there.

a plucked chicken...she squeaks

Horrible!

Wonderful voice, great work....Brava!

who was singing Elena from the 50s to 80s? a total of 2-3 singers? how many of those could sing the 2.5 octave chromatic descent in Arrigo? 2? 1? Elena is one of the most difficult roles ever written and most of the times is sung dreadfully.
But I do agree her voice needs more tuning and training if she wants to hit the Assoluta repertoire
She is something special. She's got a wonderful instrument, as well as a great stage presence. And a High-E to boot? C'mon, y'all!!! I won't make comparisons to any other singer. Sondra will be the first Sondra-- only she and time will determine what that means. Thanks for posting!

her voice is not small at all, obviously you have never hear her live.
