So...vocalists who, IMHO absolutely nail the part? Here are two: Studer's Salome and Gallardo-Domas' Angelica

Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Regarding Gallardo-Domas, what a gorgeous voice, right up to the perfect, high C's. What happened to her?

As for Studer, a pity she wore out her voice but what a Salome she left behind: so demented, so beautiful and powerful but more "pliant" than the classic clarion-voiced Nilsson. Yes, Studer swoops, but just listen to her "Ah" as the head raises from the floor. Studer is absolutely possessed, IMHO. Also, Sinopoli mines progressions and colors that I've not heard elsewhere.

Both put me in the "zone" like no other I've yet heard in either part.
