| The main object
of interesting Friday night was Alaverdian, young, full-throated soprano
who has of late joined the freshly energized Kirov Opera.
|
Alaverdian, who sang four songs
from Russian operas was at ease, commanding often oven a little flirtatious,
and unexceptional vocal control, being able to manage the softest expression
even over the large orchestra and to soar to the rafters as she raised her
voice in song. Press-Sun Bulletin, Binghamton, NY Friday, November 20, 1998 |
The orchestra brought
along a fine soprano with an agile technique Alaverdian stirred the audience.
Her impressive technique handled the tricky writing with ease. Times Union, Albany, NY, November 25, 1998 |
|
| Alaverdian has a marvelous voice.
Her thick, unforced tone was a constant delight. She is capable of producing
on enormous sound, but also has a remarkable ability to sustain the line
in pianissimo sections tier intonation was solid and there was remarkably
little in the way of unnecessary glissandos between notes. |
