Meade makes an awful noise and is unbearable, for any and all of the reasons others have stated. I had to turn her off halfway through.

Sutherland is past her best. Her mouthy middle voice and slowing vibrato make her less than a pleasure. Vague enunciation undercuts her effort to sound dramatic. She's nevertheless much better than Meade.
