"The ubiquitous Flower Duet from Lakmé is on this portrait disc, but Yende's lustrous, appealingly forward soprano tone and somersaulting vocal agility are showcased far more effectively by the other six numbers ... There's definitely something winning about Yende's fearless, can-do singing".

"Hers is a lyric coloratura voice of real beauty and flexibility. There's a dash of cream to it, and she phrases with instinctive musicality and feel for line, meaning that her Bellini and Donizetti, in particular, have a real seductiveness to them ... Yende isn't quite the finished product - and recital discs rarely show singers at their best ... [But she] is clearly a major talent, and one who is only going to get better".

"BBC music opera choice: This is the most exciting debut album to come my way for a long time. Pretty Yende, a South African ... sings a selection of mainly bel canto scenes ... Her voice is full, already has many colours and her coloratura is effortless but also expressive ... On the basis of this disc, I can imagine she will soon be in demand all over the world".
Vurdering : 5/5.
