Anna Tomowa-Sintow should have been a SuperStar

"This recital disc is among my favorite soprano recitals I own, and I have quite a few.. Tomowa-Sintow's voice is one of unique beauty. I have yet to encounter another voice that reminds me of her voluptuous timbre. She easily surmounts the lush phrases of Richard Strauss, and Wagner, and tackles the agility of Mozart's music with the same ease. I particularly love her in Verdi roles where she is able to make use of both the dramatic and agile aspects of her voice. The music chosen for this recital perfectly displays her versatility, her strengths. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to discover a soprano, or for those who are already familiar with Anna Tomowa-Sintow and want a disc that demonstrates her best singing."

Marvelous soprano

"Karajan was right, Anna Tomowa-Sintow is a rare and wonderful artist. This adorable soprano has a creamy, full-toned spinto sound that can take her from Verdi to Wagner or from Strauss to Puccini with equal ease. But it is her sincerity, her big-hearted singing that sets her apart. It is a pity that Karajan didn't use her for his Ballo in Maschera recording, since she gives a compelling account of Amelia's first aria here."
