"singing her native French, she treats the Berlioz and Britten with a light touch...Gillet and her conductor, Paul Daniel, are at their nest in a well-paced 'Le spectre de la rose', which captures the lilt of the dance to perfection...It is Les illuminations that gets the best performance of the three. The Liege players get some real bite out of the rhythms and Gillet lets her imagination take flight." (Gramophone)
"This is a dream of a programme, and the performances by Belgian soprano Anne-Catherine Gillet are enchanting...Her tuning is spot-on, and her stratospheric region - quite frequently explored in this work - sublime...The Liège orchestra's playing is first class throughout, and Paul Daniel accompanies his singer most sensitively" (MusicWeb)
