International Record Review
'It's what (Miricioiu) does with the voice that counts, with its shades of coloration, its gradations of weight, its variations of lightness and emphasis... begin with any track... and you will find the Romanian soprano on good form... there's a slow duet... in which the voices of Miricioiu and Bruce Ford twine around each other in vocal curlicues, both singers gentle in their approach... Shkosa joins Miricioiu in a lyrically sung duet... and how well their voices combine.'
Gramophone
'Patric Schmid's characteristically inventive programme focuses on... the roles (Rossini) created for... Isabella Colbran.'
'From Opera Rara comes a recital that, while exploring little-known repertory, it also presents Nelly Miricioiu in roles she would be ideally suited to. The problem of sustaining the listener's attention through a long sequence is overcome by presenting scenes in full, in which the other roles are well-taken, and juxtaposing arias with duets and quartets. Richard Osborne greeted this disc as a 'splendid hawk's-eye view' of Rossini.'
Opera
'... special note should be made of Alastair Miles' superb coloratura bass...'
