Uit een recensie:
While all the arias on this disc have been recorded before, this is the first occasion I can think of in which the program is specifically devoted to the arias Mozart wrote for the talented sister of his wife, Aloysia Weber. The arias indicate that the singer had both a phenomenal range and technique, both of which the present artist, Cyndia Sieden, has. Her singing is soft-grained and lovely, with notes above the staff always sweet and bell-like, right up to the top G.
