It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: To be fair, I doubt either Leontyne Price or Eleanor Steber did much Wagner...

That's a great Knoxville: Summer of 1915, one of the greatest (imo) 20th century American pieces, and a work that she commissioned and premiered. Steber had a luscious voice, but apparently alcoholism and personal problems took a toll, and her vocal prime did not last long. Otherwise, I suspect she would have been very successful with Wagner. You are right about her Lohengrin at Bayreuth, which I don't own.
