 'The mezzo Rebecca Leggett (winner of the Jardin des Voix 2023) delivers that evening a unanimously noticed and promising performance about the continuation of her young career. The round timbre and lyrical range are embellished with an easy technique...Variations in intensity are noticed, as well as the breath length and the ability to insert chiseled nuances into her interpretation, which at times gives her the appearance of an evangelist of Bach passion. Her last solo earned her a discreet kiss, sent remotely by William Christie smiling behind his harpsichord.' www.olyrix.com/articles/production/6762/festival-de-printemps-les-arts-florissants-vendee-matin-cafe-eglise-benoit-hartoin-augusta-mckay-lodge-florian-carre-28-29-30-avril-2023-article-critique-compte-rendu-paul-agnew-william-christie-concert-musique-baroque-culture-france 'The concert is also an opportunity for another discovery, that of the young mezzo-soprano Rebecca Leggett...Her fresh and expressive voice seduces from the outset, charming and intimate accompanied by Thomas Dunford's attentive theorbo in Blow's "Peaceful is he...", she is aerial with clear highs for a very beautiful moment of grace and emotion.' *translation* www.resmusica.com/2023/05/04/purcell-au-festival-de-printemps-des-arts-florissants/
