Impressions:
Screamy top, wide vibrato-laden tone for Stoyanova throughout the range - is this late-career? Would probably sound OK in the house - the microphone exaggerates a singer’s faults. At least she has a lower register.
Yoncheva; this should’ve been just within her reach. She sounds as if she’s pushed her voice past her boundaries too early. Her registers sound out of whack. Even in quiet passages she sounds stressed, the emission tremulous, wobbly even without pushing.
Stoyanova, only by default.
