Reviews


'Harriet Hunter's even toned, clear soprano floated beautifully around the building, and her aria 'O Salutaris' was particularly notable, as was the 'Crucifixus' in which she demonstrated her fresh, open sound and complete control of the wide-ranging leaps without loss or alteration of tone.'

Megan Barr, April 2023


'I particularly enjoyed the soprano solo Domine Deus, Harriet Hunter interweaving with a beautifully rich and warm oboe solo'

Megan Barr, Lichfield Mercury, December 2015


'Harriet Hunter managed to combine vocal exuberance with poise in the joyous "Wedding Cantata". Judging from the alert and colourful accompaniments, her colleagues found it infectious.'

Richard Bratby, Sutton Coldfield Observer, May 2013


'...she will always be Merstham's own special voice'

Ann Lardeur, A&B News, February 2012


'...The Three Ladies harmonised in perfect unison and credit must be given to soprano Harriet Hunter, who appeared to carry the trio with wonderful charm and grace. The Three Ladies captivated and drew audiences into the supernatural world which Schikaneder had intended.'

Suzie Millar on The Magic Flute, March 2009


'I thought the best contribution to Act I came from the Three Ladies; Harriet Hunter, Helena Raeburn and Shira Lang vied delightfully for the right to guard Tamino.'

Geoff Read on The Magic Flute, March 2009


'...However, the stars of this particular concert were undoubtedly the two soloists, Harriet Hunter and the baritone Philip Lancaster. Harriet's Pie Jesu was magnificent...'

Megan Barr, The Lichfield Post, June 2009
