Christmas with the Faces of Classical Music
[…] of soprano virtuosity. Her voice has lost none of its liveliness, but it has a thicker quality than before. It makes an intriguing contrast with Rydén's more silvery instrument. The music for the most part avoids the virtuoso quality of Monteverdi's high monodic style; it depends more on interpretation and consistency of tone, both areas in which these singers excel...
