    I has always thought of Gruberova as just another very good coloratura soprano (e.g. Queen of the Night, etc.) but I was really happy to hear how superb she was as Elvira in Puritani in todays Sirius broadcast - the announcer discussed how she came in after Sutherland who "owned the role!!' as far as I'm concerned Gruberova was better in every respect - the
    wonderful feel she has for this music and the classic way she traced the lines - sometimes the high notes needed a bit of a nudge to get to the
    proper altitude but she got there - really wonderful and I must get more of her material. About Chris Merritt, all I can say is that if your high notes are going to sound like that, maybe you should think twice before trying to sing them. Richard

    She has just ended her career:
