Notes & Reviews:

BBC Music Magazine
Her vocal and musical vitality shines out of every track

The Times
Their vocal virtues remain unaltered: clarity of attack, a fluidity across all registers, a voice full of sunshine and joy.

Gramophone Magazine
The young soprano displays impressive technical skills in her singing of florid music; scales and other passagework are immaculate in clarity and evenness, and they are blessedly innocent of aspirates and other easing devices.

International Record Review
[Jenkins's] brief setting of Exsultate Jubilate for de Niese is great fun, with chugging strings and excitable vocal line giving way to a more mellow middle section before returning to the 'A' section with some wildly exciting high B naturals.
