Reviews

“Bayrakdarian’s silvery contributions are elegant and pure-toned.”
– Contra Costa Times

(Of the concert performance:) “Soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian stood as a goddess might to deliver some of Mahler’s most exclamatory lines of poetry. She was a kind of musical oracle, her voice clearly speaking truths but without any interpretive interference — and this is just what the texts required. She and Ms. Lieberson made a powerful duo of contrasting and complementary styles.”
