October 2006

Figueras is in her element. She can be dramatic or passionate, facetious or sorrowful; a young girl who wants her freedom and is only restrained with difficulty; and a saintly soul in a mystical union with God. Highly recommended.

the best kind of musical archaeology, performed with imagination and unquenchable enthusiasm.
