Practice saying this name, because it will be on everyone's lips -- everyone who loves opera, that is. ... Her first
recital disc shows that her voice has ripened beautifully and that she has the temperament -- and the technique -- for more
demanding stuff. Two words: Look out. Record Review / DAVID PERKINS, News & Observer, Raleigh / 21 September 2003
Anna Netrebko gets back on form with this stunning collection of arias. Here is insightful, intelligent singing, beautifully
phrased and impressively controlled -- and what a voice! Clear as a mountain stream, and evenly-weighted from top to bottom.
But perhaps her greatest talent is to communicate passion and emotion with restraint and delicacy: there's nothing histrionic
here, but you can really hear the blood pounding under everything she does . . . Record Review / Warwick Thompson, Classic
