"Maria Bayo's voice is one of the best I have heard. I was first introduced to her through my oboe teacher, Humbert Lucarelli. He heard a recording in a record store and was so excited by her voice and musicality that he rushed out of the store and tripped on the curb, bruising his face and breaking his glasses. He basically fell head-over-heels for her. This recording is a fantastic example of the clarity and intelligence that Bayo brings to the music. The CD is a bit on the short side, but the quality more than makes up for it. A must have for any collection."

Lovely Voice

"I love this recording! Maria Bayo's voice is exquisite! Her tone is pure with no vibrato: perfect for Mozart. I love her effortless trills! I bought this recording simply for the aria, Ruhe Sanft. What a spectacular but low-key performance of that lovely piece. Ms. Bayo's voice is soft and not overbearing and allows the simple lullaby to simply flow. Her voice is natural and sweet. The Exultate Jubilate is also very well performed. The orchestra is also very good and provides a good background for the arias. Very well recorded. I would love to hear this stunning soprano in more Mozart!"
