Il Monde Felice
CypresJan 2023"De cd is een prachtig eerbetoon geworden aan de legendarische zangeres. Tatiana’s virtuoze uitvoering van Mendelssohn’s Vioolconcert in D en Anna’s verbluffende uitvoering van de concertaria Infélice van dezelfde componist laten hun enorme talent zien en weerspiegelen hun grote bewondering voor Malibran. Het is 75 minuten lang genieten. Warm aanbevolen." [Translated] : "The CD has become a wonderful tribute to the legendary singer. Tatiana's virtuoso performance of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in D and Anna's stunning performance of the same composer's concert aria Infélice demonstrate their immense talent and reflect their great admiration for Malibran. Enjoy it for 75 minutes. Highly recommended."
