"Auf ihrer vierten CD bei der Sony verlässt sich die russische Sopranistin Olga Peretyatko auf das, was sie gewiss gut kann: auf russische Arien und Lieder ... Ihre bislang ausgeglichendste und beste CD ... Das zuweilen eisige Charisma der Sängerin bildet zum romantischen Gestus der Werke einen reizvollen, angemessenen Gegensatz".

"The Russian coloratura soprano's sound falls so easily on the ear but never tends to blandness: the Act One cavatina from Ruslan and Lyudmila showcases her dazzling agility, whilst the Lullaby from Sadko reveals warm mezzo-ish tints in the middle voice".

"Ihre neue CD ... Russian Light führt die 37-Jährige auf ihr ureigenes Terrain. Vom ersten Ton der Cavatina der Ludmila an ist zu spüren, dass sich die Stimme der Sängerin in der Muttersprache wohler fühlt als im Italienischen. Deren dunkle Farben, die manchmal eine Mezzo-Tinta haben, kommen besser zur Geltung ... Sie wird vom Orchester zurückhaltend begleitet".

"The Rachmaninov songs suit that lower register particularly well; the famous Vocalise is luxuriantly attractive, and Don't Sing, My Beauty sensuously nostalgic ... She closes with two songs from Shostakovich's determinedly chirpy musical Moscow Cheryomushki ... Peretyatko brings out their faux-naif charm, to round off a very enjoyable programme".

"After a couple of albums of bel canto arias, Olga Peretyatko is on home soil for Russian Light ... This collection is an engaging mix of songs and operatic arias which dip into lesser known repertoire ... She ripples through the chromatic knots of the Hymn to the Sun with silvery seductiveness ... Her Snow Maiden is impetuous and urgent, while Volkhova's tender lullaby (from Sadko) contains the disc's most haunting singing. The Ural Philharmonic Orchestra provide sensitive accompaniments under Dmitry Liss ... [on] this highly enjoyable disc".
