Vatralova-Stankov

REZENSION
.She seems to have a lyric voice, but one which has a richness and depth to it.In fact the Micaela performance has some of the loveliest singing on the disc. And in both arias she displays a feeling for detail.Her Anna Bolena is characterised by a beautifully generous phrasing.Possibly the best overall piece of singing on the CD is in the opening of Signore ascolta from Turandot. Here Vatralova-Stankov sounds a little like Caballé in the role. --Robert Hugill, Music and Vision

.Vatralova-Stankov makes an attractive thing of it (Bellini - Casta Diva). There is a nicely elegiac quality to the interpretation, and the descending scales are dispatched smoothly.She then progresses to Donizetti's Anna Bolena, again offering the main body of the tower scene with impressive conviction.Micaela's thrice-familiar aria is perhaps the most successful item on the disc. It is quite winningly done, and displays the voice in a congenially-weighted role for which a full-throttle approach is neither asked for or given. This Micaela is a spirited young woman with the bravery to perform the task at hand, yet reminds us that she is a gentle creature at heart.The "Signore ascolta" from Turandot similarly boasts an appealing resonance to text and a deftly floated conclusion much in keeping with the spirit of the piece.Marguerite's Jewel Song is also pleasing.On the compelling evidence of this debut recording, there may indeed be some seductive delights to anticipate from this comely young soprano in the very near future. --Mark Thomas Ketterson, ConcertoNet
