MusicWeb International has a second review for Isabel Bayrakdarian, Jory Vinikour, Constantine Orbelian, and the Kaunas City Symphony’s The Other Cleopatra:
“performed here with verve and commitment… beautifully sung by Isabel Bayrakdarian… This is great music, dramatic and melodious and gives the singer plenty of opportunities to display both her technical capacity and the beauty of tone. … Let me add that neither the Hasse nor the Gluck arias have been recorded before, which is a further asset with this project – besides the fact that the singing is so utterly attractive. The playing of the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra under their principal conductor Constantine Orbelian cannot be faulted… a valuable addition to our knowledge of 18th century Italian opera – even though two of the three composers were Germans!”
