She is one of the stars from the excellent recording of Mozart's Don Giovanni I have. What she could do with her voice is amazing. Listen to her rendition of Donna Elvira:
Recitative and aria Il quali eccessi, o Numi (Act II, scene 14)
and the rest of that aria (and scene 14)
Mi tradì quell'alma ingrata

The Italian libretto of this aria can be found here. An English translation of the lyrics is available on this webpage.
