"Delage's Quatre Poèmes Hindous, in which the well-travelled composer makes a Western chamber ensemble sound unnervingly like sarod, sitar and Indian flute, are especially beguiling ... Devieilhe is mesmerising, sounding deliciously clear and radiant, and sings with a sensuality that seems absolutely innate".

"Ugens album: Her synger sopranen Sabine Devieilhe franske arier, der alle rummer en uopnåelig drøm om fremmede steder ... Udgangspunktet for cd'en er operaen Lakmé af Delibes, der foregår i Indien. Det er noget af den smukkeste musik, der er skrevet for koloratursopran ... Det interessante med alle disse asiatiske drømme er, at de blev komponeret hjemme i Europa, og komponisterne havde ikke besøgt de lande, de skrev om".

"Det er en sødmefuld og lyrisk-intim oplevelse at lytte til den jævnaldrende franske sanger Sabine Devieilhes album Mirages. Devieilhe er nemlig, hvad man kalder koloratursopran, og kan lade stemmen kvidre oppe over det høje c, så man bliver svimmel. Det er uimodståeligt, når hun viser talentet frem ... Duetten Celle qui vient fra Massenets opera Thaïs er endnu en lækkerbisken på et album, hvor de eksotiske klange er i fokus".

"Diese CD ist fraglos auf eine besondere Stimme zugeschnitten: auf den exquisiten Koloratursopran von Sabine Devieilhe ... Mit ihrer mädchenhaften Stimme ... wirkt die Sängerin wie eine zarte Elfe ohne Mezzo-Beimischungen à la Magdalena Kožena ... Das vielfach fragile Klangbild wird von François-Xavier Roth mit seinem Orchester Les Siècles ideal umgesetzt".

"Opera choice: Devieilhe's singing lights up the good, the bad and the music of Ambroise Thomas with her vivid, pure tone and apparently limitless breath. Alexandre Tharaud pops in as a sensitive piano partner; Les Siècles and François-Xavier Roth offer idiomatic, dusky, gut-lined softness and clarity in the orchestral numbers".

"Editor's choice: You'd be forgiven for assuming that this release, featuring French coloratura soprano repertoire ... might be a conventional affair. You'd be wrong ... This adventurous programme places those familiar showpieces into the most fascinating of contexts ... Those Lakmé numbers can rarely have sounded fresher or more original, with Devieilhe joined by Crebassa in a supremely seductive account of the Flower Duet and offering some breathtaking coloratura in the Bell Song ... Devieilhe ... has a wonderfully instinctive and apparently effortless way with this music ... All in all, this refreshing, fascinating and beguiling album is impossible to resist. Highly recommended".
