“Iwona Sobotka’s recitative and aria as Seraph travelled with ease between truly hochdramatisch delivery and greater intimacy: operatic, then, in the best sense. Her coloratura glittered yet never for its own sake, put to excellent musico-dramatic use.” – Mark Berry, Seen and Heard International
“Sobotka’s portrayal of the Seraph’s divine presence was clad in exquisite vocal guise, encompassing the full variety of moods, ever admirably nuanced.” – Jari Kallio, AIM blog
