Notes & Reviews:

"...the Australian soprano is in fine voice throughout, with the clearest English diction since her fellow-antipodean Joan Hammond, a smooth legato and ringing top notes...Barry Banks proves a reliable partner in the love duets from 'Linda di Chamounix' and 'The Pearl Fishers'...The familiar items by Sullivan, Zeller and Cole Porter are sheer deliht..." ***** -Osborne, BBC
