 J.S. Bach, Mass in B minor 2010 NW Bach Festival, Gunther Schuller, Music Director "Soprano soloist Janet Brown has been a festival regular for many seasons, and she sang Friday with her accustomed agility and clarity." (Travis Rivers, The Spokesman Review, 2/7/2010) Leonard Bernstein Glitter and Be Gay 2007-2008 Syracuse Symphony Orchestra Season Finale "Brown showed bravura coloratura technique in 'Glitter and Be Gay'..." (Chuck Klaus, Syracuse Post-Standard, 5/24/08) J.S. Bach, Coffee Cantata 2007 Skaneateles Festival Finale "...As the daughter, soprano Janet Brown brought her strong lyric instrument, some meltingly beautiful phrasing, convincing dramatic involvement and tasteful ornamentation." (Syracuse Post Standard, 9/1/07) Fussell, Excerpts from Astronauts Tale and Goethe Lieder Collage New Music, David Hoose, Conductor "...the excellent soprano Janet Brown closed the scene with a breathtaking high, quiet fade." (Boston Globe, 3/27/07) Handel, Messiah Albany Pro Musica, David Griggs-Janower, Conductor "Best of all was Janet Brown, whose soprano voice was unfailingly beautiful and expertly used." (Albany Times Union, 12/11/06) Mozart, Exsultate Jubilate and Mahler, Symphony No. 4 Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, Daniel Hege, Conductor "Brown's voice is a continuing marvel -- sweet-toned and light, but possessing a warmth of tonal character that stamps [warmth] and emotion upon everything she sings." (Chuck Klaus, The Post-Standard of Syracuse, 10/15/05) J.S. Bach, St. Matthew Passion Cantata Singers and Ensemble "In a category all their own were baritone James Maddalena and soprano Janet Brown: Both operated at the very heart of the music and text." (Richard Dyer, Boston Globe, 3/26/04) Fond Affection (CRI) CD Review "The disk opens with seven songs sung with breathtaking beauty by soprano Janet Brown. Especially lovely is 'Schilflied,' which shows that Bacon could set German poetry quite well." (NATS Journal of Singing. November/December 2002) Scarlatti, Christmas Cantata Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, Luis Novo, Guest Conductor "It was Scarlatti's Christmas Cantata that gave Janet Brown another chance to display her laser-accurate pitch, wonderful musical and stylistic grasp, and beautifully formed and controlled vocal sonority...." (Chuck Klaus, Syracuse Post-Standard, 12/1/03) Haydn, The Creation Cantata Singers, David Hoose, Conductor "There was an excellent team of vocal soloists led by Janet Brown. Her tone is still fresh as the morning dew in paradise garden, and she sings with such heartfelt simplicity and directness that you almost forget she's singing; she's music, that's all." (Richard Dyer, Boston Globe, 11/9/02) Bach, B-Minor Mass Syracuse Symphony, Daniel Hege, Conductor "The most stunning blend of vocal color during the evening, however, came as Brown joined mezzo-soprano Barbara Rearick for the "Et in unum Dominum," which proved to be the ensemble high point of the performance." (David Abrams. Syracuse Post-Standard. 4/21/01) Hugo Wolf, Spanisches Liederbuch (Russetbush) CD Review "...But her simplicity, of course, is deceptive--the art that conceals art--as comparison with any merely correct reading of these songs will instantly reveal." (Adrian Corleonis. Fanfare Magazine. March-April 2001) Samuel Barber, Knoxville: Summer of 1915 Tallahassee Symphony, David Hoose Conductor "Soprano Janet Brown was luminous in a beautiful performance of Barber's lyrical masterpiece. Brown sang with a warm and rich sound, and her phrasing was spot on." (Steve Hicken. Tallahassee Democrat. 5/4/99) |
