Reviews:

"...thrilling singing, with lovely pianissimi and exciting high notes."
(from the review at Tower Records)

"The clear tone and breathtaking agility sparkle as before, now informed by a loving portamento that caresses each phrase. In ``Piangete voi . . .?'' she rivals Callas and Scotto in letting the sound of the voice mirror Anne Boleyn's madness -- and all this is done through musical means, with exquisite control, legato and impeccable attention to the marriage of sense and sound."
(Octavio Roca in SF Chronicle)

"Der Vortrag, mit dem die Gruberova das Schicksal dieser Königinnen formt, bedient sich der Mittel einer vokalen Artistik, mehr noch der Nuancen vielfältiger menschlicher Gefühle. Eine unverwechselbare Stimme im Dienste Donizettis."
(Kurier)
