Julie Adams / Reseñas

“Yet perhaps the most striking aspect of Adams’ artistry was her combination of plush tone and seeming effortless vocal power. Especially in the more expansive and dramatically charged parts of her recital, she lofted potent, long-breathed melodic lines that seemed to swell and fall with cunning naturalness. Climactic high notes landed firmly and without an edge; arching phrases surged and then subsided beautifully.”

“The soprano Julie Adams, from California, impressed me as the most mature of the winners with her elegant account of an aria from Debussy’s lyric cantata “L’ Enfant Prodigue” and an affecting performance of Mimi’s “Donde lieta uscì” from Puccini’s “La Bohème.” Her voice is rich, full and slightly earthy in an expressive way.”
