“She has earned her place as one of the best sopranos of her generation and it has been said that her voice is ‘…perhaps the most instantly recognizable and interesting soprano voice of our time… a liquid instrument of great beauty…’. Puccini himself might well have been in agreement. “ - Gramophone

“Angela Gheorghiu never sounds better than when singing Puccini…" – The Guardian

“Angela Gheorghiu delivers some of her finest singing… one of today’s greatest voices. An instantly recognisable one too, thanks to her vibrant tone and communicative relish of text… too many jewels to list" - *****Star review BBC Music Magazine, April 2005

“Gheorghiu is a consummate artist, who brings both superb control and emotional intensity to these performances." - The Evening Standard, March 2005

“This is a considerable addition to this artist’s discography… everything she achieves here is technically assured, thought through and emotionally rewarding… a deeply satisfying traversal of the Puccini canon, well supported by the Milan orchestra and Anton Coppola."
- Gramophone, March 2005

“Gheorghiu here shows why she’s the soprano of the moment." - The Observer, “Classical CD of the week", March 2005
