Since her Carmen at La Scala, Milan, she has counted as one of the "shooting stars" of the international opera scene, celebrated in London and New York as much as in Paris, Munich or Berlin. The glowing intensity of her focused voice and her sure feeling for style bring Teresa Berganza or Marilyn Horne to mind, while the naturally dark timbre is reminiscent of Olga Borodina. Rachvelishvili has ever shade of expression at her disposal, from seduction (Carmen and Dalila) to fragility (Charlotte and Santuzza) and confidence (Eboli and Sapho). This recording is more than a promise of things to come – it's the confirmation of a great artist."
