Julianne Baird in Songs of Love and War
|
"Julianne Baird has studied this repertoire from both a performer's and a musicologist's view, and her singing is informed by both perspectives. Again, Baird's emotional range is enormous, and her understanding of the Baroque idiom is a joy to hear." Stereophile

| "Baird
is a stirring singer... Both... have been recorded before, but rarely
with the combination of authenticity, and passion that Baird brings to
them... THis is a winner--- highly recommended."

| "Baird
is one of less than a handful of sopranos active today who sings early
music with such commanding authority and beauty of sound and phrasing"

| "These
pieces... demand a level of skill and artistry that Julianne Baird displays
in abundance. Her voice is beautiful and complex and seemingly effortless.
In all, Ms. Baird excels."

| "THis
is singing of extraordinary beauty and expressive variety.... I have
heard an intelligence that misses not a thing. Yet nothing seems
calculated. Beautiful voice, beautiful emotional experience."
