“Hats off, gentlemen. A diva. The real, rare, wondrous thing. Her name is Christine Brewer.”
Opera Britannia
30th July 2009
“Christine Brewer possesses possibly the finest dramatic soprano in the world today, and this wonderful collection of arias sung in English is a stunning testament to this assertion...Her versatility is never in doubt and the results rarely less than exceptional...The Philharmonia Orchestra provides excellent support throughout, perhaps a little flaccid in the Tannhäuser, but generally very responsive and vivid elsewhere.”
