REVIEWS
“In this, the first commercial recording of the song cycle ‘Correspondances’, Barbara Hannigan is simply superb – faultless pitching, crystal-clear words, a shining tone, and total empathy with the composer’s message.”
(5 out of 5 stars)
– BBC Music Magazine, May 2013
“[Correspondances]: It’s a sensitive, lyrically expressive and moving work, which Barbara Hannigan sings superbly…”
– Audiophile Audition, 24 March 2013
“Hannigan’s singing is heartbreaking…”
– MusicWeb International, 13 June 2013
“…Barbara Hannigan has made the music very much her own and the nonagenarian composer has written a new, suitably stratospheric ending for her, as magical as one might have hoped . . . it is difficult to imagine a more sympathetic rendering of Correspondances”
