[Susan Patterson]… is in rich, firm voice, soaring over the big ensembles and approaching high notes fearlessly.
Gramophone

American soprano Susan Patterson… proves a feisty Elvira, spirited and accomplished in delivery.
BBC Music Magazine

‘The recording is outstandingly good; no-one who wants a spirited rendering in English is Verdi’s first international success need hesitate for a moment.’
Gramophone

‘Each new encounter with this increases not simply respect (that was high from the start) but affection…’
Gramophone on CHAN 3023(2) (La traviata)

‘Chandos’ outstanding sound allows listeners to hear every note of this recording… Anyone who wants a Rigoletto in English will be happy with this worthy effort.’
American Record Guide on CHAN 3030(2) (Rigoletto)

‘The high standard of the Chandos Opera in English series is well maintained in this performance of one of the most quintessentially Italianate of all Verdi’s operas.’
