“Everybody’s talking about mezzo Joyce DiDonato these days. This star product of Houston Opera Studio has been conquering opera houses around the world. If you wonder what all the fuss is about, listen to this live recital from London earlier this year. The voice has a gorgeous silvery sheen in its higher registers, seamlessly changing to molten gold as it descends”

The Dallas News

DiDonato radiates not just the serene and sinister side of Venice but its romantic melancholy, as depicted in six songs by Reynaldo Hahn. Rossini’s La regatta veneziana showcases the American’s florid brilliance, Fauré’s Cing Mélodies her seductive sense of line

Financial Times

The purity and lightness of her tone are enchanting

Sunday Telegraph

Such force, such lustre! Joyce DiDonato’s mezzo-soprano is very impressive … over the 66 minutes there’s enough quiet silky legato and subtle phrasing to delight lovers of the intimate. The jewel is the Venezia set by Reynaldo Hahn. And Julius Drake at the piano spins his own magic
