Awards and reviews

September/October 2020

No previous recording of Leopold has been even vaguely satisfactory, as every soprano has struggled mightily. Young Finnish lyric Johanna Lehesvuori nails it, managing every note, every turn with aplomb in a clear, sweet voice. Then come a bass recitative, a tenor recitative, and a Terzetto; tenor Tuomas Katajala and bass Niklas Spångberg are both excellent.
