MARBECKS STAFF PICK: CD OF THE YEAR 2009

"The singer's emotional commitment to her programme leaves a strong and at times powerfully positive impression." BBC Music Magazine, December 2009

MARBECKS STAFF PICK: CD OF THE YEAR 2009

"…singing in English…seems to release a vein of poignant colouration in her beautifully clean, wide-ranging voice. The choices from L'Allegro-the ravishing 'Sweet Bird' and, with the excellent Finnish tenor Topi Lehtipuu, the 'As seals the morn' duet - demonstrate this specially well, but the singer's emotional commitment to her programme leaves a strong and at times powerfully positive impression." BBC Music Magazine, December 2009

"Theodora's "As darkness deep" is beautifully done, with the line "Your thickest veil around me throw" invested with rare sublimity." Gramophone Magazine, November 2009
