Elisabeth Söderström

As ''Lola'' in [[Cavalleria rusticana Anna Elisabeth Söderström (married name Olow; 7 May 192720 November 2009) was a Swedish soprano who performed both opera and song, and was known as a leading interpreter of the works of Janáček, Rachmaninoff and Sibelius. She was particularly well known for her recordings of the lead soprano roles in the three Janáček operas ''Jenůfa'', ''Káťa Kabanová'', and ''The Makropoulos Affair'', all of which received Gramophone Awards. The ''Gramophone'' critic John Warrack described her portrayal of Káťa Kabanová as "establishing by an infinity of subtle touches and discreet, sensitive singing the picture of Káta as the richest and most human character in the drama".
