Here’s what the critics have to say..
“To say that soprano Mireille Asselin is a great addition to the ACE would be a ridiculous understatement; from her first entrance…she commands attention for the sheer beauty of her voice and the ease and naturalness of her phrasing.” (Ludvig van Toronto)
“Serouj Kradjian’s arrangements and the playing by his colleagues in the Amici Ensemble (clarinetist Joaquin Valdepeñas and cellist David Hetherington) are first rate. So is the voice of and interpretation by Mireille Asselin – she truly gets the spirit of French-Canadian music, which dominates on this disc.” (Whole Note Magazine)
