"Natalya Romaniw is fast consolidating her reputation as one of the outstanding sopranos of her generation.Roderick Williams is the most cultivated and sophisticated of baritones. ".in almost 30 years of attending Garsington, I don't think I have heard a classic opera cast with such care and accomplishment.Natalya Romaniw is a Tatyana in a thousand."
