  • Gorgeous sounding 11-track disc
    author: Scott McLennan, Worcester Telelgram & Gazette

    Hatch’s soprano accentuates the celebratory nature of the material. In the orchestra pieces, Hatch’s voice blends with the strings coloring the upper registers of the compositions. In the songs with simpler accompaniment she has the chance to be more dexterous, daring and playful with the material. The variety of the program and enthusiasm of the performances suggests Hatch enjoyed her return back to her roots.

  • Superb Program. Delightful.

    This is a superb program of selections and, naturally, the performances are delightful.

  • Exceptional
    author: Fred Looft

    Much like an art work (Im no artist but I have an appreciation for exceptional works of art), Monica Hatch on this CD is stimply stunning, there are no other words to describe her signing and the music. Futher, as someone with a reasonable "audio" background, the recording it self is beautifully balanced and an absolute delight to listen to. Highly recommended!!!

  • Outstanding!
    author: Steve Roberts

    I have been lucky enough to hear Monica perform some of her classical repertoire live on several occasions and this recording does not disappoint! I have to say this is an absolute outstanding piece of work, both musically and from a production standpoint. From the stirring title track “Let The Bright Seraphim” to the intensely moving “Pie Jesu” from Fauré’s Requiem, Monica's voice takes the listener on a emotional journey. Her range is truly amazing and the accompaniment of the St. Paul’s Festival orchestra on several of the tracks is breathtaking. Ian Watson's sensitive keyboard work and conducting all serve to make this a truly must have CD for any lover of classical music. Without doubt a Five Star rating.
