Reviews & Testimonials
“a poised and polished Handel aria from Nicola Pulford" WIAV Opera Gala Review, Western Mail and South Wales Echo, Mike Smith, 2011
"Nicola opened the concert with a sensitive and emotional interpretation of Pucinni’s renowned aria “O mio babbino caro”. Her technical control, the purity of her voice and her detailed phrasing drew from the audience a collective and appreciative sigh, closely followed by rapturous applause." Grantham Journal 2010
"The highlight of the second half for me was a confidently executed and delicately detailed rendition of Purcell’s “Hark the Echoing air”. Nicola captured the celebratory and triumphant nature of this song perfectly with her voice magnificently controlled throughout, and each ornamentation and flourish as clear as a bell." Grantham Journal 2010
"Nicola’s sustained high notes were so carefully crafted and imbued with musical meaning that they sent a shiver down my spine." Grantham Journal, 2010
Some lovely trills and top notes were heard to advantage in Nicola Pulford’s performance of the ‘Jewel Song’ from Gounod’s “Faust”...beautifully captured”
