La Opinión de Malaga (05/2012)
“Si interesante resultó la primera parte del concierto, el Schoenberg de Erwartung consagró esa nueva idea de expresión que encierra las obras de este último concierto. La soprano Carole Sidney Louis, puso voz a este melodrama, alargando ese instante desalentado e incierto descrito por el autor. Una ópera exigente con la solista, a la que hace repasar casi todas las opciones de canto para alcanzar esa progresión dramática donde la orquesta tensa la acción a pesar de la renuncia a esquemas o motivos. Un cierre brillante para uno de los abonos más interesantes de las últimas temporadas.”
“If the first part of the concert was very interesting , Schoenberg’s “Erwartung” revealed the concept of new expression that contains the works of this last concert. The soprano Carole Sidney Louis, gave her voice to this melodrama, extending that discouraging and uncertain moment, painted by the author. An extremely hard opera for the soloist, which makes reviewing almost all vocal resources to achieve the dramatic progression, where the orchestra emphasizes the action in spite of the abscence of conventional schemes or motifs. A brilliant conclusion for one of the most interesting concert from the recent seasons.”

” … Ayant l’âge et le physique des personnages, la distribution séduit par son chârme, sa santé vocale, son style, sa parfaite élocution italienne. Carole Sidney Louis possède la ” douceur exquise ” de Mimi. Avec elle et son Rodolfo (Florian Laconi), les airs les plus célèbres surgissent dans leur scandaleuse et poignante spontanéité. “
“… With the age and the physical appearance of characters, the cast charms us with its good vocal health, its style, its perfect italian elocution. Carole Sidney Louis owns the “delightful sweetness” of Mimi. With her and her Rodolfo (Florian Laconi), the most famous arias arise in their scandalous and heartrending spontaneity…”
La Dante Allighieri de Metz – Gérard Péri
“… Quant à l’interprétation, on peut d’abord se féliciter de l’âge et de l’allure physique des chanteurs qui étaient bien dans leurs rôles respectifs ; une mention spéciale pour Florian Laconi (ténor) qui campait un Rodolphe au timbre aussi agréable que puissant ; la Mimi de Carole Sidney Louis (soprano) n’a pas démérité elle non plus et le couple a su nous émouvoir sans tomber dans l’exagération mélodramatique…”
“… About the interpretation, we can be very pleased about the age and the physical appearance of singers who were very good in their part; a special distinction for Florian Laconi (tenor) who was a Rodolfo with a voice as pleasant as it is strong; the Mimi of Carole Sidney Louis was very convincing too and the pair succeeded in moving us without falling into a melodramatic exaggeration…”
Frankfurter Neue Presse – Matthias Gerhart
“Eine zweitägige Klangbiennale führte die Freunde der zeitgenössischen Musik nun zurück in die Klangwelt der 60er und 70er Jahre – präsentiert von hochkarätigen Interpreten, etwa der Sopranistin Carole Sidney Louis, die beim Eröffnungskonzert das 1971 entstandene Werk Ausstrahlung solistisch gestaltete …”
“… A two days “Klangbiennale” leads again the friends of the contemporary music into the sound of the 70es and 80es, presented by excellent soloists such as Carole Sidney Louis who has interpreted at the opening concert the solo vocal part of “Ausstrahlung”, work wich Maderna wrote in 1971…”
ODB Opéra – Paolo Albiani
“… Carole Sidney Louis is a wonderful Adriana : her voice is superb, reminding one of Suzanne Sarroca or Rosanna Carteri. She masters the role, a tense tessitura, with authority…”
Concert Classic – Bernard Niedda
“… Carole Sidney Louis, a fruity voiced dramatic soprano, masters a tessitura which is very demanding in the high notes which she delivers with a never-failing assurance…”
Magazine Opéra – Bruno Villien
”…Les quatre solistes se montrent aussi convaincants sur le plan vocal que dramatique. Carole Sidney Louis campe une Adriana amoureuse et angoissée (“m’aimait-il à Buenos Aires?” ). Ses deux duos avec Miguel sont pleins d’émotions…”
“… The four soloists are as convincing vocally as they are dramatically. Carole Sidney Louis is an anguished Adriana in love (” Did he love me at Buenos Aires?”). Her two duos with Miguel are full of emotion…”
Le Républicain Lorrain – Georges Masson
”…Scéniquement remarquable, Carole Sidney Louis (Adriana) doit assumer les grands écarts et projeter sans arrêt son soprano dans les aigus…”
“… Remarkable theatrically, Carole Sidney Louis (Adriana) constantly has to cover the voice range and to project her soprano into the high notes…”
