Recent Reviews

"The hauntingly beautiful voices of Taylor and Zsigovics, she in her
festival debut, melted together like two precious metals, hers of bell-like
clarity, his a more complex alchemy, with a sheen like liquid mercury."

"...Zsigovics’ creamy, velvety tone. Zsigovics’ soulful, yearning aria,
"Quia respexit," with oboe obbligato by Mary Watt, was a highlight, as was
"Esurientes implicit," sung by Taylor and accompanied by flutists Robin Kani
and Susan Charlton.

Bethlehem Bach Festival, Steve Siegel, Special to The Morning Call, May 9, 2010

"Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere mei, Deus...was a joy to hear on Sunday, not
least on account of the soaring refrain so beautifully rendered by soprano
Agnes Zsigovics."

The Ottawa Citizen, Richard Todd, March 22, 2010

 "Soprano Agnes Zsigovics, was a dream to experience. 
With a pure sense of sweetness, she invoked a soft satin one might expect in 
middle voice, though inexplicably extending this supple air over her entire range. 
In addition to a perpetually tender grace, the soprano could also invoke muscular reserve
when called upon – overall she was pure pleasure to listen to....

Hamilton's The Record November 22, 2009

"Soprano Agnes Zsigovics owns a limpid, 
emotionally naked instrument; her exquisite Den Tod duet 
with Taylor in the first cantata just about 
reduced me to tears."

American Record Guide, July/August 2009 print issue.

"Taylor also sings two meticulously
 prepared duets with Agnes Zsigovics (Wir eilen 
mit Schwachen and Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn)"

The Collaborative Piano Blog

..."Four excellent soloists -- soprano Agnes Zsigovics, 
counter-tenor Daniel Taylor, tenor Benjamin Butterfield 
and bass Daniel Lichti -- make substantial and individual 
contributions to the enterprise"

Jesu, meine Freude ****1/2

"...In two duets, Wir eilen mit swachen
 and Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn, 
Taylor is joined by soprano Agnes Zsigovics, 
whose crystal-clear singing and musical 
manner are everything that one could ask 
of a Bach soprano."

The Voice of Bach ****

"The large-calibre soloists included 
soprano Agnes Zsigovics, countertenor Daniel Taylor,
 tenor Benjamin Butterfield and Bass Daniel Lichti...
Zsigovics and Taylor sand the duet to exquisite perfection."

"She sent a thrill down my spine when 
she hit the first note of her solo squarely and pure."

"Agnes Zsigovics (remember that name 
because she’s a real gem) was my favourite; 
her voice made me melt, it was intoxicating. 
It was over too soon."

"...the performance of Cantata BWV 23 
last evening was a feast of beauty, 
featuring four wonderful soloists, especially 
the emerging young alumna, Agnes Zsigovics, 
whose clear, liquid soprano made her aria soar."
