"LOUISE FAUTEUX shone.

Her technique allowed her to float on a glorious high note and then turn up to an even higher embellishment without strain or forcing or losing the very musical line. She showed a strong concept of the text and music of each of her airs, which she communicated beautifully with Maestro Lehman and the orchestra. Brava!"

"The musicians of Alarm Will Sound under the guidance of their superb musical director and conductor Alan Pierson, captured the underlying currents of Varese's compositions with a superlative sense of control, dynamic and expert phrasing...Un grand sommeil noir from 1906 ..was affectingly sung by Louise Fauteux, accompanied by John Orfe on piano ...Ms. Fauteux's performances ot the two songs comprising Offrandes.. were more effective and the ensemble's work was well focused and evocative."

"All the soloists exhibited clear, strong voices, but it was soprano Louise Fauteux who exhibited a voice of special purity and power."

"Louise Fauteux, a pert boyish Oscar, offered clarion tone in her two showpiece arias and a soaring top in the great Act I ensemble."

"The best part was when the two together completed an 'I can do anything better than you' duet. Fauteux and Kaplan's voices contrasted beautifully during these vocal fireworks, as exciting and beautiful as only Mozart could have made it."

"The soloists were fine, contributing impressive credentials, admirable technique and brilliant sound. Soprano Louise Fauteux's bright, full bel canto seemed a surprise from such a small body.

"Soprano soloist Louise Fauteux had a clear and pleasant voice that rose above the Chorale and Orchestra, somehow able to sing both with and apart from all of them."

"Uplifting concert by the Connecticut Master Chorale! Louise Fauteux proved exceptional in strength and tone ...Soprano Louise Fauteux, with a full and golden voice, sang the quieter and more contrasting sections....It was about as good as any choral concert can get."
