  Thanks all, for the Inga Nielsen comments. I loved her Chrysothemis in the great Willy Decker production. She had an open purse over her arm all the time – a great image, and very telling, but no longer so, when the production returned a couple of years later with another soprano. She really could act – and the voice was just glorious. I’ll definitely look out for that album with Robert Hale.

  Nielsen also does a stunning Ozean, du Ungeheuer! for Janowski on the RCA CDs of Oberon. Her clear, forward sound and excellent technique more than make up for any presumed lack of heft.
  If you can’t have Frida Leider (no longer returning calls, alas) it is definitely the way to handle this role.
