Soloist in VERDI REQUIEM

Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg

“With Jamie Barton and Benjamin Bernheim, we go beyond the stage of bel canto to reach that of magic. Sovereign of legato, the American mezzo deploys silver and copper colors throughout her register, whose iridescent reflections go so far as to create light in her Lux aeterna.”
–Matthieu Roc, ResMusica

“The mezzo Jamie Barton deploys a broad voice with deep foundations while revealing a high range of superb allure. She favors nuance and finesse.”
–José Pons, Ôlyrix

“It is undoubtedly the beauty of Jamie Barton 's singing that we will remember; it must be said that Verdi particularly highlighted the part of the mezzo-soprano in this work. The American is sovereign, even dazzling, both in murmurs with moire effects and in authoritative and powerful treble.”
–Catherine Jordy, Forum Opera

“There is much conviction on the side of the American Jamie Barton, who has energy and human warmth to spare.”
–Laurent Barthel, ConcertoNet
