I used to buy those expensive operas on the Nightingale label especially for the way Edita Gruberova "scooped" to the top. I also have found an "eccentric" vocal production at times. Howver, at 68 she is still an amazing lady!
The trills(even on high passages), the accuracy,the ease of the top notes, the over-all involvement in the music, the amazing lasting power in tremendously difficult repertory have made her attain "legendary status" in the opera world. The above URL gives you an idea of what she has accomplished, but there are very recent clips of her, and she will be "another Magda" if she continues, after 45 years before the public.
