“Whoever
has seen this performance can only confirm that
it is Hannigan’s unparalleled virtuosity and
overwhelming concentration, both “live”
and on film, that carries the performance. She has
completely internalized the piece; she is One. .”

| "...the
most riveting performance was that of Canadian
soprano Barbara Hannigan: her agile coloratura
easily overcame the difficult passages in the
part of The Woman, including a brief episode in
the 2nd Night where I was reminded of Ariadne
auf Naxos's ebullient Zerbinetta."

| "Above
all the last work, brilliantly sung and interpreted
by soprano Barbara Hannigan and the Limburg Symphony
Orchestra, has a hallucinatory quality, in which
the music rose above the sometimes looming threat
of nostalgia."

"The
(Mahler Fourth) symphony's otherworldly finale,
a child's innocent ideal of heaven, once more brought
Hannigan into the spotlight, and again she sang
with a winning combination of technical aplomb,
warmth and understanding."

Etymo
for soprano and chamber ensemble,
with live electronics
Luca Francesconi
IRCAM
Ensemble Intercontemporain
Susanna Malkki, conductor
KAIROS 0012712KAI
available through www.amazon.com
|
| |
“In
Etymo, the skillful soprano Barbara Hannigan
sings, chants and otherwise intones lines and verses
by Baudelaire while a chamber ensemble ripples and
surges around her. Ms. Hannigan’s voice is
like a siren call amid the music’s iridescent
swirl; now and again Mr Francesconi isolates her
sound and distorts it through electronics means,
adding immesurably to the hallucinatory effect.”

Writing
to Vermeer
Louis Andriessen
with the Asko and Schoenberg
Ensemble, conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw
Nonesuch Records (USA)
available through www.amazon.com

|
|
“The
impressive Barbara Hannigan sings Saskia, a high
soprano role with sweetly angelic vocal lines that
sometimes turn tremulous and wistfully sad.”
New York Times,'Writing
to Vermeer' cd review, July 2006 |
| |
“As
Saskia, Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan, whose
part is the highest, is an energetic singer you
can't take your ears off; her entrance in Scene
2, introduced by Andriessen in the score with some
of the highest-register symphonic writing in an
opera whose music tends toward those ranges, is
a standout.”

|
“Barbara
Hannigan's Armida is nicely teeth-gnashing: she
sings the heck out of her arias and duets and her
recits are delivered with real fire.”
