Spotify seems to have only the Catalani "La Wally" aria from the album shown in your post, but she also sings Donna Elvira on Mehta's in-concert recording of "Don Giovanni" (on the Helicon label), so I listened from "Mi tradi. . . " to the end of the opera. Hate to say it, but I didn't notice anything unusual in what I heard. (I admit, it's not that much to judge on - maybe the voice was just a bit larger sized than what we often hear in these arias?) I probably should just pick up the aria CD (if I see it) and give her more of a listen - or maybe the whole album will be on Spotify soon.
