Reviews:
"Every once in a while, there come along singers who have a quality of singing so beautifully, and touchingly, that it kind of makes you cry, just the sound of their voice," observed Michael Tilson Thomas. "I think Sasha Cooke is one of those people". He's right, so it's curious Cooke isn't better known after performing with many of the leading opera companies, symphony orchestras, and conductors; winning two Grammies; and boasting repertoire from the baroque to contemporary avant-garde. Recorded in analog with minimal miking, Cooke's debut album has been available on CD since 2012, but Yarlung has now released it on vinyl. Cooke's ravishing voice is complemented by her sensitivity and imagination, apparent in the depth of feeling and lyricism she imparts to Mahler's Rucker-Lieder. Also on the program are two Handel arias, including a powerful performance of "Ombra mai fu" (from Xerxes), and the teasingly erotic "Am I In Your Light?" - Cooke's signature piece from John Adams' opera Doctor Atomic. Gilad and his Colburn Orchestra provide accompaniment of exemplary point, purpose, and sympathy, and sonics are extraordinary in their naturalness and integrity."
