CRITIC REVIEW:

"What is certain is Siems’ status as one of the finest coloraturas on record. Take that echt coloratura show-piece, Proch’s ‘Variations’. Her version is masterly in its technical security, but she goes further, impressing with a strong sense of musical personality and an ability to flaunt the florid writing like so much fashion jewelry…."
