About

enjoyable (collection) of arias sacred and secular….performances that would be hard to better-in expressivity, quality of tone and diction, intonation, control of vibrato, and absence of technical strain….The recording is as clear as a frosty morning, the acoustic spacious, and the balance exemplary…A disc I shall often return to…Warmly recommended”  - Gramophone
