I have just discovered a new (to me) singer whom I really like: young Swiss soprano Regula Mühlemann. She quite young but has already made a splash. She has a wonderful strong voice.
I first heard her singing Exultate jubilate; which she made into the thing of joy that it was meant to be. She was also good in Et incarnatus est and a variety of other pieces
Her rendition of Schubert's Der Erlkoenig might not however win universal acclaim. It is a very jerky and hugely dramatic piece that you may have to know to appreciate what a superb job she did of it. It is an old favorite of mine and I know all the words. And I can vouch that she suited her expression to every word. It is outstanding as acting as well as musically
