This complete recording of La Traviata testifies to the prominent place that the Latvian soprano now occupies in the international operatic landscape. And in the role of Violetta Valéry, where the most prestigious comparisons are legion, she succeeds in bringing her personal mark.

Opéra France

One might wonder what is the reason for yet another recording of La Traviata, but the answer is almost evident: to keep the Violetta of one of the greatest living singers in the best possible conditions, a singer without comparison with any other in terms of purely vocal achievements, as I wrote on the occasion of Ms. Rebeka’s performances at La Scala.

BBC Music Magazine United Kingdom

A new complete recording of “La Traviata”, with Marina Rebeka as Violetta, well represented on international stages, and united to a fine to extraordinary cast.

Opernglas Germany

Marina Rebeka is quite dazzling, it must be said, and displays the majesty of a sovereign, and even more, the supreme ease of a demi-mondaine accustomed to seeing all men at her feet.

Forum Opera France

A striking new recording of Verdi’s classic from Latvia, a studio recording with lots to recommended…which combines musicality and drama…an impressive achievement and recorded in fine modern sound.

Planet Hugill United Kingdom

She delicately colors the melancholic phrases, her coloratura flows with the utmost fluency, and her high notes fly with verve but without audible exertion… Marina Rebeka, as Violetta, has set a vocal monument of lasting value here

Oper! Germany

Marina Rebeka makes a gripping role interpretation, mixing beautifuly sensual lines with furious outbursts; all this colored by her very personal and expressive soprano. Alfredo in this recording is sung by American tenor Charles Castronovo, who in turn makes a very convincing and passionate Alfredo. Equally impressive is the Romanian baritone George Petean as Germont

Capriccio Sweden

Michael Balke signs a Traviata without a single “but”, with extraordinary fidelity to the text and the music, a recording which includes every single reprise, as they were written.

Ópera Actual Spain

In Marina Rebeka’s voice, the role of the young Parisian courtesan feels organic, as if it was written for her. Castronovo makes a dark Alfredo, succeeding in giving to the character a strength that few tenors can, and listening to Petean in the role of Germont is pure pleasure.

Pro Opera Mexico

Absolutely boundless praise…the singing seems not to come from the lungs, but from the heart, and the performance’s spontaneity, despite the studio record, is perhaps more pronounced than with many live recordings.

Elegant Classics Czech Republic

Rebeka is the star of the recording: with a flaming heart and great vocal technique, she sings the part and has the infamous three types of voices that are needed—and dies a heartbreakingly triumphant death.
