THE GUARDIAN
“A singer of Sophie Daneman's stature… is a real luxury.  She has the most angelic voice on display.”

“Sophie Daneman strikes a perfect blend of virtue and vulnerability, and is spellbinding in her gorgeous arias.” 

THE INDEPENDENT
“Daneman’s phrasal purity and beauty of tone are enough to seduce even those normally averse to this kind of repertory.”
