Reviews:

“…the singing is…reminiscent of an age when Italian sopranos roamed the earth singing this repertoire with idiomatic style. Dessì may not possess an instrument on the scale of a Tebaldi or a Stella, but she offers ample compensation for fewer decibels with scrupulous attention to musical markings and vocal detail. Turns are exquisitely turned, pianos are floated with grace as well as emotional impact, and there are some dazzling trills, most notably between the two strophes of "Ernani involami"…there is ample pleasure to be had in eleven well-known excerpts, plus Medora's aria from Il Corsaro. A surprising, veiled, Callas-like timbre opens Lady Macbeth's "La luce langue" and also pervades the haunting recitative to "Tacea la notte" from Trovatore. Also like Callas, Dessì offers a soprano "O don fatale" one of the high points of the disc”.
