I saw her as Ortrud under Barenboim, in another millenium...I was captivated by her looks and stage presence....I do not care at all about her voice, but I have to admit her live appearance makes up for a lot of that. "I'm not so sure about Boulez Wagner" I guess it's not to everyone's taste...he conducts Wagner very 'classical' in a way which suits me very well. I adore his Parsifal (but there I also adore the singers) even tho Bayreuth chorus (and to a lesser extent the orchestra) try to ruin the experience. If you like a 'different', but imo very Wagnerian Wagner I can recommend it, esp. if you enjoy Boulez's Mahler.
