Listeners are already starting to respond to Isabel Leonard‘s newly released Preludios recording!
“The most beautiful, intelligent and lustrous voice I have heard in the past 10 years. This recording is magnificent. The program choice, and its progression, sublime. The moving interpretations by Ms Leonard and her accompanist Brian Zeger of the songs of Mompou and Montsalvatge are eye-opening and transformative and reflect their deeply personal and profound Catalan (and Cuban) sensibilities. Mr Zeger works in exquisite tandem with Ms Leonard — this album is a work of landmark importance in the mezzo soprano repetoire. Ms Leonard’s voice is as if the stars in the springtime night sky had descended to one’s lawn and could sing a private concert.” —WillowBarcelona, Amazon
“Isabel Leonard by far has been the leading Mezzo-soprano since 2010 and this CD has been Long Overdue. I just listened to the CD on XBOX and as expected, it is a Superb Performance and includes my favorite Song “Gracia Mia”. MS. Leonard is gifted with Fantastic Voice and Great Stage Presence with Perfect Diction in Italian, French and Spanish. I absolutely love her French Song: “Tu n’es pas beau, tu n’es pas riche” and hope she would do an Album in French next. BRAVA!” —The Opera Fan, Amazon
