15 Dramatic Sopranos attempt the "Abscheulicher!" climax (B3-B5)

Part 7 of the "Dramatic sopranos sing..." series. Fifteen dramatic sopranos attempt the scales, coloratura, high Bs and low B in Leonore's "Abscheulicher!" scene from Fidelio (Beethoven). I think Leonore is quite an underrated role in terms of reputation, requiring a large-voiced soprano with good dynamics, the ability to sing florid passages, and an extremely even scale covering 2+ octaves.

Many of the artists here take a little liberty with the score. Here is the full score for reference: http://en.opera-scores.com/D/Aria/18/....

I know there is probably a quiet a few missing, but it was difficult to fit in many artists with this somewhat longer than usual excerpt.
