An unmissable recording of one of today's most celebrated artists.
"A fine recording by a stellar artist." 5 STARS, BBC Music Magazine
"As Tchaikovsky's heroine Rebeka produces perhaps her finest singing on disc to date: her consistently radiant tone, textual authenticity, stylistic authority and stunning cumulative urgency are worthy of Vishnevskaya in her prime. […] Rebeka's excellence never fails to shine forth." – Opera Magazine
"this is Rolls-Royce singing, the voice a finely tuned engine whose expressive powers go from zero to off-the-dial in seconds as an introspective pianissimo builds to an outburst of unleashed emotion in a single phrase. Rebeka floats her high notes beautifully and sustains astonishing control over tone and dynamics in the longest of the melodic lines. […] A fine recording by a stellar artist." – BBC Music Magazine *****
Critical Praise for Marina Rebeka:
"Marina Rebeka is the prima donna assoluta, under the label which she created. (Rebeka) boldly projects her unstoppable high notes, excellently crowning the volutes with a flawless vocalization. An integral (recording) worthy of its claims. " - Avant Scène Opéra (for Il Pirata, PRIMA010)
"A wonderfully silky and clean sound recording flatters a voice of irresistible charm, as well as a very "fin de siècle" interpretation, but without anything languid or evanescent. And then, what a high pitched piano on "Ah ! je suis heureuse", one of the most miraculous of the discography!" - Opéra Magazine, France (for Elle, PRIMA004)
"Her wonderful soprano has a warmth of expression that is good for every single piece." —Opernglas, Germany (for Credo, PRIMA007)
