Robert Levine and Octavio Roca, Tower Records' Pulse!:
Alessandra Marc may just be the soprano we've been waiting for. Her first recital disc, on Delos, is a stunner - it displays a huge, beautiful voice capable of great expression, filled with many colors. She'll make a great Turandot and will undoubtedly feel at home with Strauss and some of the more lyrical Wagner roles. She doesn't sound like anyone else; her riches are unique.
Classic CD:
Voice aficionados on both sides of the Atlantic have known the name Alessandra Marc for several years, and have been awaiting the launch of her recording career. Delos has just released her recital debut under the title "American Diva". Ms. Marc, one of today's rarest vocal commodities - a genuine young dramatic soprano - has been acclaimed both for the impact and sheer beauty of the voice.
Shirley Fleming, Opera News:
The solo recording debut of Alessandra Marc provides a strong profile of this formidably gifted dramatic soprano, who already has sung at the Met and with the companies of Chicago and San Francisco, as well as in Europe. The voice is heroic, radiant, produced with beautiful evenness and capable of almost frightening climaxes in arias like "O patria mia" and "Inquesta Reggia" - climaxes achieved with no spreading of tone. But Marc is no mere vocal machine: her sense of tension and cohesion of line, her ability to dip suddenly into shadow following a bright, forward phrase, her exalted rhapsody of mood in a love song like Louise's "Depuis le jour," all bespeak her emotional and artistic range.
