“Luminous joy … Exultation … Pure tone and genuine feeling … Expressive and theatrical”: Reviews of “Messiah” with Charlotte Master Chorale/North Carolina Baroque Orchestra

Read the latest reviews of Awet’s performances of Messiah with the Charlotte Master Chorale and North Carolina Baroque Orchestra:

“… The four soloists made strong impressions. Soprano Awet Andemicael conveyed luminous joy in a zippy ‘Rejoice greatly’ and exultation in ‘I know that my redeemer liveth’ …” – Lawrence Toppman, WDAV Classical Public Radio

“… all four guest performers were eager, strong, confident, and at ease […] Evaluating their performances is largely a matter of cataloguing what each of them sang and lauding the pure tone, genuine feeling, and impeccable breath control they brought to each piece.”  Awet Andemicael “was the most facially expressive and theatrical of the soloists, showcasing her soothing declamatory capabilities in the ‘I bring you good tidings’ recitative and the suppleness of her coloratura in ‘Rejoice, Greatly’ …” – Perry Tannenbaum, CVNC Online Arts Journal in North Carolina
