Lezhneva is at her most accomplished [in the Mozart], providing spirited and focused vocalism, running up and down the scales with effortless abandon and to fine effect. Elsewhere there are occasional deficiencies, including high notes slightly wide of the mark...Yet the precision and determination Lezhneva bring to Vivaldi's In furore...is remarkable...the period-instrument orchestra sounds fesity under Giovanni Antonini.

A voice of bell-like purity, even throughout its compass, immaculately fluent in coloratura...Though Il Giardino Armonico's punchy, adrenaline-fuelled playing may disconcert some in Mozart, they vividly complement a singer who rivals the young Bartoli in high-octane virtuosity

The purity of her voice has been much vaunted in the press, but this is no vibrato-free, pseudo-treble sound: there’s a warmth and sensuality to the timbre, and she treats repeated text with insight and imagination that never descends into mannerism...This is a real Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman, and I can’t wait to see where she’ll go next!

A singer of uncommon ability and vivacity...Il Giardino Armonico provide apt support throughout: their dashing, frothy strings offer a syllabub-light bed for her glass-like clarity and poise

[Alleluia] certainly showcases her unusual status as a Russian coloratura specialist, and one who trills and leaps with enviable cleanliness and clarity...She sings sweetly, with trills effortlessly folded in like sparkling jewels, and four top Ds easily scaled...Lezhneva’s voice, however, still seems a work in progress.
