May 2007

Versatility is the key to mezzo Jennifer Larmore's success in this English-language programme, as it is in the opera house. …when one hears her in the waltz-song from Gounod's Romeo and Juliet, a coloratura soprano showpiece that goes too high for many sopranos' comfort, then one just has to take off one's hat.
4 out of 5 stars

July 2007

Track by track, Larmore's technical command and dramatic concentration are stunning. That Rienzi solo, for instance, is an immense undertaking, and everything - vocal range and expressive intensity for a start - is in the grand manner, indomitable and tireless.
