I stumbled across it on BBC4, last night. It had a female singer on it, performing the lead in Tosca. Her voice was amazing, even through my rubbish bedroom tv speakers. Typically, I've forgotten her name today. Can anyone help me out? She's a fairly attractive woman, with long dark hair and looks like she's in her mid-thirties. I think she had a greek-sounding second name.

Angela Gheorghiu, Romanian, and you are ten years out with your age estimate.

No problems, and don't call me Sheila in public. I've told you about that before...

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue!

So, now I have her name, do you know if any of her performances are on vinyl? if not, any recs for good CDs featuring her?

Cheers <whisper> Sheila <whisper>
