Arias for Farinelli - Vivica Genaux, Rene Jacobs, Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin - 2002, 2008

ONE OF THE BEST VOCAL RELEASES OF 2002:
Anne Midgette, The New York Times (Sunday Arts & Leisure Section), December 29, 2002

BEST OF THE YEAR/2002 – Recitals of Virtue 
The Editors, Opera News, January 2003

“Apparently, René Jacobs has waited twenty years for this special voice, in order to make this recording.  The music requires impeccable technique.  Suddenly there is someone, Vivica Genaux, who accomplishes all these things with facility, and surpasses every expectation.” “Miss Genaux sings with appealing, breathtaking diction; she expresses herself warmly, and barely seems to breathe: Trills are always placed perfectly and naturally in the phrases, not the trick of a virtuoso, but sung as a true musical ‘Ambassador.’  In Giacomelli's ‘Quell’usignolo,’ she not only soars above the orchestra, but seems to surpass nature in her representation of the nightingale.”
RJB, Süddeutsche Zeitung, May 14, 2002

Vivica Genaux channeled the spirit of Farinelli in an exhilarating disc. -Fanfare Music Magazine - Want List for Laura Rónai [2002]
