@idaspe You have to listen to her live. Her lower register is very rich and powerful and secure, it is her home base, no soprano will have that, just by that she is a true mezzo. She does have some extraordinary abilities in the upper register, and a very extended upper register, which only makes her more special, but her voice is a mezzo, especially heard live.

Why people insist on calling mezzo to an obvious soprano? As Kozena or von Otter...
