"Die Lettin singt technisch fast ohne Makel, stets auf dem Atem, mit schöner Registerverblendung, in der Tiefe nie dick, in der Höhe souverän ... Doch zieht Garanca auf der Hörbühne kaum die Kostüme der jeweiligen Figuren an, sondern präsentiert sich stets im selben eleganten Abendkleid, das allenfalls in verschiedene Beleuchtungsstimmungen - für die das Orchester des Teatro Comunale di Bologna unter Yves Abel sorgt - getaucht wird. Man ist beeindruckt, aber nicht unmittelbar berührt".

"Garancas stemme er i luksusklassen, åben og afrundet, voluminøs med et sikkert topregister, der selv her i højden ubesværet bibeholder en fløjlsblød timbre ... Det er en formidabel stemme og et fornemt valg af arier, som hun formår at gøre vedkommende".

"A judiciously programmed recital of operatic arias from Latvian mezzo Elina Garanca, mixing the familiar with the obscure, promises much and delivers plenty ... Revelations come with the French rarities ... Yves Abel and his Bolognese band offer solid support. Overall, this is a splendid operatic recital ... This release should appeal to aficionados of fine singing, especially in French repertoire somewhat 'off the beaten track'".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "Marguerite's soliloquy [Berlioz: La damnation de Faust], accompanied by an eloquent cor anglais, is movingly done; and Garanca gets even better ... Garanca is sensuous without being vampish - quite an achievement in this part [as Dalila (Saint-Saëns)] ... [She] moves effortlessly from top to bottom without ever sacrificing beauty of tone ... Fans - and others - need not hesitate".
