@Greatfan One mustn't underestimate the difficulties of Sieglinde. For most of the evening the role is quite low, thickly orchestrated, heavy on the strings, which are dangerous for the female voice. The entrance of Siegmund & Sieglinde Act 2 (f. ex.)That's where you hear the quality of a Sieglinde (BTW here you couldn't always hear Norman in the house). Once the soprano gets to Act 3 she's home free. I've never heard a bad "O hehrstes Wunder."

'Poor Hildegard Behrens'?
HARDLY.
Jessye Norman may have seemingly stolen the show in this particular section, yes, but Hildegard Behrens was also incredible in her own right.

Hildegard you made me cry in Elektra in 1995 with Rysanek. For always you will remain in my heart. Your nobility, the force of your voice, a total engagement. I kiss you in the sky.
