This is still a favorite album of mine from back then: Flora Purim -- 500 miles High, Montreux

These recordings of Eva Zaicik and Veronique Gens sound fantastic with natural realism, without the artificial processing too often done with female vocalists. Of course, YouTube doesn't do justice to the quality of the recording; you really need the CD or high-res download.
WOW Eva Zaicik is absolutely amazing. Thanks for the tip!
Oh yeah, Sinne Eeg can really sing. I have a couple of her albums.Sinne Eeg & Thomas Fonnesbæk - Taking It Slow ...
"Der Holle Rache ... ", one of the two famous arias of the Queen of the Night in WA Mozart's opera Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) is practically a rite of passage for soprano opera stars. Consequently, there have been a lot of recordings over the years, and YouTube is flooded with performances by established and aspiring sopranos. There are classic recordings by Lucia Popp, Edda Moser, Cheryl Studer and many others.

Mozart the magician forever, indeed! That is a lovely duet by Purcell, thanks for sharing it. Stately and nice flow, even more so when the choir enters in the latter part. Hope you do get to duet it with a skilled soprano someday!Thanks a lot, I enjoyed these very much; Mozart, Mozart, forever!!
How about this charming duet of Henry Purcell?
I sing in bass part in our church choir, and I have a dream of siging this beautiful piece with a soprano singer and our choir someday....
