*Ludwig Suthaus, [https://youtu.be/JZMaCM4D0a8 Unsre Liebe]. Probably the most difficult male passage in all of Wagner.

:*[https://youtu.be/qyStoc6p7lw Holländer - Die Frist ist um - Wagner]. Incredible butchery, but a valiant determined effort. She even gets lost halfway through. This is what happens when you have somebody schooled in the classics of Mozart and Beethoven approach Wagner, and why the importance of the words. This doesn't takeaway from a person's technical skill.  Wagner demands from the interpreter to put something of themselves into the performance, and not just rote memorization. The spirit of the music is missing. She's still learning, and may not ever pick it up. She did much better with ''Nur eine waffe taugt''.
