American Record Guide
"Boeva’s singing is lovely. Her strong readings display good vocal coloring, varied
dynamics, and effective enunciation of the
texts." Review by Robert Moore, published in September/Oktober 2023 issue
Augsburger Allgemeine
"Pain, grief, emotion - a mixture out of which, however, as Natalya Boeva herself argues in the booklet of the CD, a transformation takes place, a catharsis, a purification through art."
