"Fiona Hammacott was absolutely superb as the soprano soloist, colouring the poetry of Hesse and Eichendorff with richness, depth and a beautiful tone. The opening song was a perfect example of how Hammacott really used the poetry which had inspired Strauss."
"The 'Ave Maria' was a lovely rendition worthy of Callas." "In the Alleluja from Mozart's Exsultate jubilate, the brilliant Fiona Hammacott, with her dream-like beautiful voice gave a full, strong and melodious sound and graced the music of the Austrian composer in a lively fashion."
"Hers is a magnificent voice, with a richness of timbre more commonly associated with mezzo-sopranos but opening out thrillingly at the top end of the range ............ was most impressive in the songs by Richard Strauss ..... the Schubert was beautiful and her Debussy impassioned ..."
"Fiona Hammacott deserves special praise for her rich, clear angelic voice. Her spellbinding and uplifting performance was undoubtedly one of the highlights of what was an altogether unmissable evening."
