"…one of the most formidable, vocally satisfying portrayals of the role of Tosca in years. The thrilling security with which she attacks one top note after another is a delight." The Guardian on CHAN 3074(2), Tosca

"… an exquisite Marguerite from Mary Plazas. It’s an elegant and immaculate portrayal." Opera on CHAN 3008(2), La Boheme
 
"This is a performance that will undoubtedly give much pleasure and merit repeated hearings." BBC Music Magazine 'Pick of the Month’ on CHAN 3070(2), Madame Butterfly
