Reviews
"You can hear an immense naturalness in her voice, which on the one hand absolutely hypnotizes listeners, and on the other inspires admiration for such a great and wonderfully cultivated talent. Especially captivating is her unbelievably crystal-clear intonation. Widely regarded as the fundamental basis of musical performance, in this artist’s voice it becomes something so perfect, so extraordinary, that it can in itself be a source of deep emotion." — Kulturapoznan
"She is undoubtedly one of the purest sopranos in Poland, and Zbigniew Preisner cannot imagine performing his film music without her solo parts." — Prestige MJM
“Yet it was Edyta Krzemień, the Polish soprano, who stole the show alongside Lisa Gerrard. It was an evening of Zbigniew Preisner, but also of Edyta Krzemień, who can sing with such piercing intensity that she almost tears hearts apart—with emotion.” — Rzeczpospolita
“One of the best female musical theatre voices in Poland. And one of the most fascinating personalities at the Roma Musical Theatre. When Edyta Krzemień begins to sing “I Dreamed a Dream”—the hit from Les Misérables— the audience holds its breath.” — Gazeta Wyborcza
