" ..a real charmer…, recorded when Ameling had a glorious early maturity as a vocal artist."
---Phil Muse, Atlanta Audio Society
Hybrid/SACD DSD remastered Playable on all compactdisc players
"Amelings interpretations surpass superlatives….This is Ameling in 1972 and 1975 at her absolute peak….In the Philips stereo releases Ameling sings equally good, but only in the PentaTone edition you can hear what producers Wilhelm Hellweg and Vittorio Negri exactly had in mind when making these recordings."
---Hein van Eekert, Luister (Juli/August 2004)
"Yet another winner from PentaTone! This SA-CD is a delight from start to finish. Elly Ameling's lovely voice is captured to perfection in each of these Mozart and Schubert arias recorded in London (1972) and Rotterdam (1975) respectively.
The mellow playing of the English Chamber Orchestra in the Mozart perfectly complements the purity of Ameling's singing, and makes one appreciate the warmth of the instrumental sound, so different from some of the more abrasive 'original instrument' productions we are used to nowadays.
The Schubert items, which take up a quarter of the disc, are not as familiar, but equally enjoyable. Here the Rotterdam PO provides stylish accompaniments (listen to the mellifluous woodwind in the aria from Der Zwillingsbrüder) and Edo de Waart's conducting throughout is all one could wish for.
More like this please PentaTone!

"Here are three more winners from PentaTone. The Elly Ameling SA-CDs are welcome additions to the surround catalogue. The Dutch soprano's artistry is consummate and when these recordings were made, 1972-1975, she was in her prime."

---Oswin Schneeweisz, HP/De Tijd
" The PentaTone label, specialized in SA-CDs offers us three new jewels with one name: Elly Ameling."
