Reviews

Soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian, tenor Michael Schade and baritone Russell Braun are a Canadian vocal dream-team. … led by Richard Bradshaw, this vivacious gang tackles arias and duets from Mozart operas … with vigour and finesse. They have such a great time that it can't help but rub off on the listener.
