“I just can’t find the words to express how fine these recordings are on so many levels. Your virtuosic singing is so excellent technically and expressively. The repertoire has preserved disappearing or lost cultural jewels. The level of the orchestra’s virtuosity can’t be any higher. The mastering and quality of the recording itself; the quality of the website; well, it’s all just as good as it gets, better actually! ”
