Will never forget her super real Salome. Full frontal! And she had the bod for the dance, too! No dancer hiding in the wings to take over as the hefty soprano hid behind a tree! That said, hers and Birgit Nilsson with Solti are my favorites of this knuckle biter! Hard to believe Strauss wrote this at the beginning of the last century!
That said, 71 is much too young to leave us.
