“The three sopranos of La Néréide show impressive expertise. Singing together in imitation, and polyphony, they weave the audience into the threads of their melodies, like sea goddesses transforming into enchanting sirens. The texts are carefully interpreted and their voices project strongly but with flexibility and delicacy. They ornament their vocal lines with remarkable ease and perform Marenzio’s Belle ne fe’ natura with impeccable balance and accuracy.”

“This is superb singing from La Néréide, a young ensemble of three wonderfully matched artists, who bring a haunting beauty to the music of Italian Renaissance composer Luzzasco Luzzaschi.”

“La Néréide sing complex ornamentations, performed with astonishing ease and naturalness. The precision of the attacks, the constant accuracy, the support and the modelling of the phrases give this rich polyphony a singular life. The emotion is there, whatever the character of the piece: each listener is suspended to the expression. Listening within the ensemble, the key to repertoire with imitation, is masterful; the freshness of the programme and all the vocal qualities of the singers are a source of constant happiness. Freshness, purity of emission, lightness, colours, contrasts, fusion of timbres, harmony, happiness…”

“It is impressive how the three voices of Camille Allérat, Julie Roset and Ana Vieira Leite blend and beguile with virtuoso ornamentation, this is vocal art at the highest level.”
