Reviews

Westdeutsche Zeitung, Germany Requiem, Verdi: “The highlight of the Verdi Requiem in the (Düsseldorf) Tonhalle was the soprano Yvonne Frazier”… this she secured through her brilliant performance of the magnificent and dreaded “Libera me”.
Rheinische Post, Germany Requiem, Verdi: Yvonne Frazier astounded through her (vocal) presence even despite the intrusively massive sound in the “Salve me”. She even beat out her mezzo colleague in the low register...
Badische Zeitung, Germany Cleopatra, Death of Cleopatra, Berlioz: Yvonne Frazier made an impressive vocal tragedienne indeed. She has grown enormously as a (young) dramatic soprano since her Freiburg tenure during the Schirmer/Runnicles era. This was especially evident in the lower register.
Zwollese Courant, The Netherlands Abigialle, Nabucco, Verdi: The most difficult role is certainly that of Abigaille sung by Yvonne Frazier who embodied the drama of this character through her enormous stage presence as well as through the strength of her vocal diversity. Her performance made a deeply moving impression.
BAYRISCHE STAATSZEITUNG, Germany Ariadne, Ariadne Auf Naxos, R. Strauss: ...Pathos, power and lyricism were extraordinarily executed in the music by: Yvonne Frazier, an Ariadne of remarkable presence, who was especially convincing through her emotional (and) vocal expression.
WESTFäLISCHE RUNDSCHAU, Germany Leonora, Il Trovatore, Verdi: ...The Premiere of Giuseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore was a musical experience, a performance that brought the house down in a way seldom seen in this city. Yvonne Frazier was an impressive Leonora, especially on account of her brilliant vocal characterization. She masters the obstacles of her demanding role with disarming ease, as thrilling in the lyric melodies as she is dazzling in the coloraturas in the first act.
BADISCHE ZEITUNG, Germany Elisabetta, Don Carlo, Verdi: ...an altogether more lyrical interpretation, surely due to Yvonne Frazier's thoroughly moving Elisabetta... in her big fourth act aria, she risks absolutely everything and she succeeds in everything, including the hazardous pianissimo.
BADISCHE ZEITUNG, Germany Fiordiligi, Cosi Fan Tutte, Mozart: What Yvonne Frazier achieved in the most challenging role of Fiordiligi with its technically difficult feats can only be called a triumph. This success is also due to the purity of heart with which she expressed her character.
TROUW, Netherlands Requiem, Verdi: A quartet of soloists to fall in love with, particularly the performance of soprano Yvonne Frazier, who with her rendering of the "Libera Me" deserved a place in heaven...
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, USA Adieu, Hugo Wolf (A collection of twelve Goethe songs titled by Eliot Feld): Yvonne Frazier sang to a ravishing effect.
