CRITIC REVIEW:
“It is difficult to realise that Ackté's sensational début at Covent Garden was as Salome in Richard Strauss' opera. Here she sings…with grace and excellent coloratura technique, and although she was Finnish, the style is typically French, and with immaculate diction."
- John Freestone
