Superb in all respects.

Great diction, makes sense of phrases, shows that it can all be done with the voice, no particular overt hand or body movements, not stiff though. A beautiful lyric soprano, not a big voice.

Reflections

Heard her in concert first, did a beautiful Handel aria with just cello and continuo, then a fascinating short Symanowski orchestral song. Final was also well-thought out. She can be so charming.
