I saw her at her Met debut in the early sixtes. I believe it was Don Giovanni. She sang her arias in German. Her voice was beautiful, large and very vibrant. Her voice as she approached the higher range became more and more intensely focused and was of a great great purity of tone. She was a truly great artist and sang with tremendous ardor and commitment.
Marvelous. Takes me back to my early days as an opera lover in the period of wide eared discovery. Back in circa 1968 I hear her sing in Faust with Alfredo Kraus in Philadelphia. She was magical as her thrilling voice floated out to the audience with that gorgeous throb and purity of pitch. She is among the all time greats.

This is sung in German. I believe it's from the same production at the Deutsche Oper Berlin of which there are other clips on here.
