Cheryl Studer is a true delight and brings an almost Wagnerian intensity to the young Susannah, especially in the second act when her character has been forced from playful, carefree and spirited girl to a truly changed woman.
Studer is altogether too forceful at times and as a consequent sacrifices both pitch and the innocence of her character.
Perhaps if Studer were just forceful (and did not have the accent) or sang on pitch and more aesthetically (but had the accent), I would find her more tolerable, but in all I was disappointed that this (and only one other recording) are the only options available of this gem.

Cheryl Studer stars in this spectacular Covent Garden staging of Verdi.
American soprano Cheryl Studer excels in this performance of Verdi's great opera, recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1994.
Famous arias include Celeste Aida, Radamès's love-song about his 'heavenly Aida'; Ritorna vincitor, sung by Aida; and the familiar Grand March, a song of the people in praise of their country, which contributes little to the plot but is a barnstormer in typical Verdi tradition.

ten years ago, Cheryl Studer had the opera world at her feet, performing and recording everything from Rossini and Verdi to Wagner and Strauss; her recording of Salome is perhaps the most sheerly gorgeous account of this music on disc.
But soon Studer came to the Met, where she proved a disappointment, performing mostly Italian roles in which she seemed distracted and unfocused.
Studer also moves easily and naturally over the stage, a gracious lady of the court who still lets us know just how deeply the private pain cuts.

 Gramophone - Gramofile - The world's best classical music magazine
This a magnificent achievement on all sides, but chief praise must go to Cheryl Studer for giving such an all-consuming account of the title-role, one to set beside those of Nilsson (Solti/Decca) and Behrens (Karajan/EMI) on disc, and to be spoken of in the same breath as the legendary Ljuba Welitsch, whom Studer most recalls.
The voice, fresh, vibrant and sensuous in tone, carries total conviction as she presents Salome's growing fascination, infatuation and eventual obsession with the body of Jokanaan, ending in the arresting necrophilia of the famous final scene.
Studer expresses Salome's wheedling, spoilt nature, strong will, and eventual ecstasy in tones apt for every aspect of the strenuous role.

Following the intermission, orchestral excerpts from The Ring were followed by the Prelude and Liebestod ("Love Death") from Tristan und Isolde, with Cheryl Studer returning to sing as Isolde.
Wagner's music is always highly pictorial, so perhaps the best compliment that can be leveled is that the listener could almost feel that he or she was experiencing the Rhine river through the eyes of Siegfried, or perhaps riding along with the Valkyries.
Soprano Cheryl Studer, like Fisch, seemed more at home with the Liebestod than with Act I of Die Walkure, as one might expect.

 classical music - andante - women on the verge of a nervous breakdown
As Heldentenors go these days, Jon Frederic West is among the best around; he brought his full tone, secure musicianship and sense of commitment to the Emperor, even if all he had to do all night was wear a dark suit and stand still.
Next to all these large, healthy voices, it was painfully obvious that Cheryl Studer's instrument is in serious disrepair.
Studer missed every single one of them (including a D-flat within the first few bars that she omitted altogether), painfully sustaining howls just shy of the correct pitch, skipping words in exchange for attempts at notes, and ending the evening with a primal scream.
