Gramophone

'Della Jones' Cenerentola of 1977 (ENO) was a bright -voiced, bright-eyed little charmer who never missed a demisemiquaver of her runs and whose up and down gymnastics sounded almost too easy to be true. Now she sings her Rossini with the same energy and agility, but as an artist has become a much grander figure, one of those whose mastery of the business places her centre stage, on records as well as in the theatre.'

'Rossini’s comedic masterpiece about an Italian woman juggling suitors is given a zippy outing by Brad Cohen and the Philharmonia.'
