Julie Roset - Handel: Salve Regina - All Music

4.5*

There has been a buzz around soprano Julie Roset, who won the Metropolitan Opera's Laffont Competition in 2022 and released several albums while still in her early twenties.

Her on-pitch lines extend almost, but never beyond, the line where they would become uncomfortable, and then they bloom into very carefully sculpted vibrato. There's a synergy here, between a bold young singer and a bold young composer, of a kind that rarely occurs.
