We discover an exceptional Lucia played by the American soprano Kathryn Lewek. She is breathtaking in her mastery of the vocal line as well as in the art of vocalization. Her range of nuances and pianissimi are produced with magnificent tones. Every word is articulated to the full. She has flawless technique, power and subtlety, which she combines with an overwhelming stage presence. In the famous aria of madness, there are even more ghostly and hallucinatory lights and shadows in her voice. Pure ecstasy that flies away in a vocal whirlwind. She sings like the sopranos of the past.– Crescendo
