Marc Rochester wrote a fantastic review about Sandrine Piau’s recording of Handel Between Heaven and Earth in the February 2010 issue of the International Record Review.
Below are some highlights of the review:
”Sandrine Piau’s breathtaking vocal virtuosity”
”sumptuous music-making crowned by a voice which can be angelic but here seems to possess much more in the way of earthly substance and sheer lasciviousness. If this voice is about to be ‘embosomed in the grave’, there will be plenty who will be only too happy to follow.”
”Piau certainly possesses both a voice of the sublimest beauty and a powerful musical intelligence.”
”One thing is certain with this disc: it will keep you on your toes. While so much high-octane energy can rapidly prove tiring to the ear, an excess of virtuosity is successfully held in check by the intense musicality and sheer beauty of Piau’s matchless voice.”
