Reviews
'There's a synergy here, between a bold young singer and a bold young composer, of a kind that rarely occurs.'
All Music
'The first thing that strikes you when listening to Leonardo Garcia Alarcon's new CD is the extraordinary definition and depth of the sound recording.'
Le Devoir
'The voice is limpid, agile, her high notes are easy and light, the vocalisations flow like clear water, the phrasing has the obviousness it needs, but above all Julie Roset has the grace to sing this Handel with a kind of candour, an ingenuous light.'
