Performance Reviews
Her voice is simply magnificent! Clear, precise, nimble, and of limpid heartbreaking beauty.
Her gorgeous tone and faultless musical sense allows her to draw every nuance from the music, understated with elegant poised purity.
She flashed through the fountain of coloratura with absolute poise...coloring, accenting, shaping the cascade of notes into wonderfully satisfying music.
What a glorious singer she is, with a steely focus to a superbly supported voice.
Hamilton Spectator
Janet Obermeyer proved to be the ideal Messiah soprano. Fragility combined with genuine power, fantastic clarity, and ample dexterity --- these qualities were there is spades.
To this recording Janet Obermeyer brings a radiant voice. The best interpretation of these works heard in a long time...possibly ever! An ideal introduction to the high poetic subject of Liszt's songs.

Calm pools of pleasure and sorrow...breathless animation...
