CRITIC REVIEW:
"[Armida Parsi-Pettinella] is a genuine contralto, happy also in mezzo-soprano roles because she has fully developed all three registers: her chest tones are rich and full, properly supported and not barked or forced in any way, her medium register is warm, her head register beautifully rounded and, if she is not pushing for too big a sound, bell-like and almost of soprano quality."
