…with delicately floated high notes, the singing of soprano Rachel Redmond has infinite grace.
Michael Church, The Independant
“Rachel Redmond’s dulcet shaping of lines and eloquent communication of poetry ensure that Penseroso’s set pieces are beguiling.”
“Ross Ramgobin and Rachel Redmond present an endearingly unaffected Figaro and Susanna… both he and Redmond sang and acted throughout with a freshness and charm that vividly communicated youthful aspiration and energy – Redmond’s glowing account of “Deh vieni non tardar” was the evening’s vocal highlight.”
Rupert Christiansen
“There can be no quibbles about Rachel Redmond, a young Scot working mostly in France. She’s a real find as Susanna: energised, quick-witted, and singing with delectable tuning, clarity and sweetness.”
Richard Morrison
“Dunedin regular Rachel Redmond’s soprano was sweet and lively, joyfully floating her notes in “Rejoice greatly” delivered with a huge smile as the strings playfully danced along. “I know that my redeemer liveth” was beautifully sung with deep conviction, Redmond’s wonderfully pure voice ringing out.”
