I thought this was a quiz about identifying who the Isoldes are – not a pirating of the site for your own discussions, that’s what Opera-l is for, surely?
My best guesses (without actually listening to the recordings):
1. Kirsten Flagstad
2. Astrid Varnay
3. Else Schurhoff
4. Montserrat Caballe
5. Janet Baker
6. Felicity Palmer
7. Helena Bonham-Carter
8. David Daniels
9. Carol Burnett
10. Eileen Farrell
11. Fiorenza Cossotto
12. Izzy Anderson
13. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
14. Bidu Sayao
