Reviews:
“The recordings are fully worthy of the performances and there is a fine appreciation on the singer by Robert Baxter in the booklet...this one is certainly worth anyone’s money.” - MusicWeb International
“As Baxter writes about her ability, ‘She spoke serenely but eloquently through the music she sang.’ I certainly agree that this is an eloquent recital, and strongly recommend it.” - ArkivMusic
