Awards and reviews
February 2021
Rebeka makes something worthwhile out of pretty well all of them, her voice forwardly if occasionally fiercely recorded...She offers a rich, spacious sound in Mozart’s ‘Laudate Dominum’ and carefully gradated tone in Verdi’s Ave Maria...Musical standards are presentable under conductor Modestas Modestas Pitrenas, with the Sinfonietta Riga leaving a good impression.
