“There’s a hint of Victoria de los Angeles in the programming and the style of this lovely young American soprano…In the Seven Popular Spanish Songs, she rivals de los Angeles with her alternately seductive and anguished manner.” (The Sunday Times)
“Every so often, a singer comes along who completelv bowls you over … [a] delightful disc … Perez is completelv at home in the Spanish songs in her recital, applving lush, chocolate tones to the material. The singer most frequently brought to mind…is Victoria de los Angeles, partly because of the programme but also the vocal qualities on display: the delicacy, lightness and timbre of her soprano, the exquisite way she can float a vocal line and particularly the coquettish charm of her Manon.” (International Record Review)
“With this gorgeous Lied and aria recital Ailyn Pérez confirms her outstanding artistic qualities. Her beautiful and generous voice, her commanding technique as well as a the broadest possible spectrum of feelings allow her to make a captivating drama of every piece.” (Pizzicato)
“… this enchanting release … [a] florilegium of delights, however. It is an adorable, joyful recital that’s been treated to an exemplary recording by Jonathan Allen and Simon Weir, and the listener is left enraptured by one of the foremost emerging talents of our time.” (Classical Source)
