Very nice. Based on that recording, I'd say Wagner might be a bit ambitious for your voice, even if it is fun and interesting. Just doesn't sound quite big enough. Verdi is definitely within range, though.

Not that not being Wagnerian is a bad thing - I used to date a budding soprano who was crushed when she realized that her voice was heading in the Wagnerian direction. That basically put the vocally lighter stuff like Mozart, Rossini and Puccini out of reach for her (maybe not out of reach to sing per se, but out from a professional standpoint). And that was the stuff she liked to sing.
