New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Danielle Talamantes' voice has been critically acclaimed and praised by a variety of music critics across the country. Larry Lapidus, critic for the The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, WA, summed up many of Talamantes glowing reviews when he wrote:
"The soprano soloist in both the Bach cantata and the Mozart motet was
Danielle Talamantes, whose voice displayed not only beauty and power, but the dazzling agility required to negotiate the torrents of embellishment, or "coloratura," demanded in both works. As remarkable as these performances were in themselves, Talamantes' achievement was all the more impressive to those who had attended her solo song recital… the night before, and heard her mastery of repertoire that made totally different demands…" "For a soprano voice of such size and power as we heard on Saturday, in songs of Turina, Granados and Ellington, also to possess such nimbleness and agility is a very rare phenomenon, indeed." - March, 2017
