Madeleine Pierard (New Generationartist) sings soprano in Mozart's Requiem with the Barts Choir, conducted by Ivor Setterfield.
"Here was a star, not just in the making, but made. In the strange artificiality of Handelian belcanto, she brought an electrifying dramatic sense, utter security, agility and brilliance. ...In Rossini's famous Semiramide aria, ‘Bel raggio lusighier', she demonstrated a virtuosity that I would risk saying might be unmatched by any other New Zealand singer."
