Suzie Leblanc Portrait

“The opening “Lascia ch’io pianga” from Rinaldo shows her clear voice and (thankfully) unaffected style, the emotion captured just right, the phrasing eloquent, the control giving no hint of effort. And this holds true throughout every selection, whether in the six-movement, recently discovered Gloria in excelsis Deo (her impassioned “Qui tollis” is a highlight) or in the more virtuosic rapid runs, lightning-quick turns, and subtle ornaments of “Da Tempeste” from Giulio Cesare.”
