"Throughout, Petibon's acting and character skills evidently lift each interpretation...Hugely recommended." Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine, January 2012
"A remarkable achievement: a fan letter to Spanish music (not excluding South America or an excursion to Villa-Lobos's Brazil) including a new commission from Nicolas Bacri. It's carried out with aplomb...Petibon is especially effective in the zarzuela numbers...Throughout, Petibon's acting and character skills evidently lift each interpretation...Hugely recommended." Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine, January 2012
"a more apt title is would be hard to imagine...This is in every respect a superlative disc and demonstrates yet again that in Patricia Petibon we have a singer with a real gift for vivid and colourful performances supported by an impeccable technique and real all-round artistry. This is not the best thing she has ever done, simply because just about everything she does is exceptional." International Record Review, January 2012
"There's a pleasingly rich core to Petibon's voice besides the coloratura heights she's renowned for. She performs with total commitment and without fear and this injects everything she sings with tremendous character." Classic FM Magazine, February 2012 ****
