“The audience in the Rokokosaal of the kreismuseum listened with enthusiasm to her ringing and strongly expressive voice. She offered a stylish performance of extraordinary vocal control.. She mastered difficult passages as in Alybieff’’s “Salaway” or in Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte”, as if they were routine for her and was rewarded with bursts of unexpected applause during those pieces. She impressively, clearly and exactly placed her voice, this brought her audience into storms of enthusiasm.”
