Details:
"Lamoreaux''s limpid, lambent voice, great ease, prodigious range and perfect intonations through the leaps and mellismas of the melodic lines, ideally suit these sequences and hymns." Montery Herald

"Lamoreaux''s sensitive recital throws new light upon the genius of the great abbess. Her voice, pellucid and supple, is perfectly at ease with Hildegard''s demands." Gramaphone
