“…The sense of drama was palpable and engaging, with an excellent interpreter like Maria Tegzes making the complex vocal part her own.”
“Tegzes is of the earth, earthy. She is also a singer of superb musicianship and compellingly assured dramatic presence.”
“The high point of the program was the ‘Brettl-Lieder (Schönberg).’ Maria Tegzes, soprano and Geoffrey Burleson, piano make a perfect duet for these graceful and humorous songs. With her vocal prowess, the singer projected her understanding, using select gestures to underscore the text…”
“…We hear the extraordinary vocal technique of soprano Maria Tegzes, who encompasses the demanding vocal line with apparent ease. Tegzes does not however use her…technique primarily for show, but mainly for expressive purposes.”
“Poetry and dramatic presence came through Maria Tegzes’ performance.”
“…As performed by soprano Maria Tegzes, (Risset’s L’autre face) proved to be the highlight of the evening. Using a lyrical and expressionist style to essentially narrate a poem, she gave a performance of power and force that was theatrical in the best sense of the word.”
"Vital virtuosic singing amid an ever-changing kaleidoscope of sound."
