                So much for my brain cell... I would have got Max Schreck I think, had a couple more cells been available...

                  I did go off on a wild goosechase tracking down a different Erdmann...Mojca Erdmann...who I had never heard of and hadn't had the opportunity to hear.
                  I must have a listen to see if she is on Youtube.

                  Mojca Erdmann began the 2011-2012 season with a double debut at the Metropolitan in New York as Zerlina in a new production of Don Giovanni conducted by James Levine and as Waldvogel in Siegfried.


                  Ah yes, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spS4v6guHHc. A rather nice voice IMO.

                    That was a really good clue, ferneyh. Sorry for the slight delay..been listening with great delight to Ms Erdmann. She reminds me very much of Natalie Dessay who I saw at The Palais Garnier in Julius Caesar.

                    OK.... an O please.

                      Is that it?! Wow, Concision Man!

                      Are there three clues buried in those four words?
