Siv Wennberg is one of the great dramatic sopranos of our age. Her career started with a bang, when at the age of 28 she sang three major Wagner roles, and Aida in the space of ten months. On the CDs issued in this series, Siv Wennberg demonstrates an enormous musical breadth, equally at home in the dramatic episodes as in the wonderful world of romances. Just listen to the brilliant high B's that Isolde hurls out in the first act of Tristan and Isolde and Who can achieve such a brilliant high C in the Nile aria in Aida.
