THE NEW YORK TIMES
"A poised and communicative artist."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
"With a voice of quality, she performed dazzling florid passages."
ALBANY TIMES
"A joy to hear! She performed with a rich timbre, rhythmic
control and a sense of theatrics with excellent diction."
WESTBURY TIMES (L.I.)
"Miss Bradley's arias were the high point of the entire evening.
She had flawless phrasing and exceptional breath control and was
a model of vocal articulation."
SCHENECTADY GAZETTE
"Bonnie Bradley has a dazzling but controlled technique with
a rich and beautifully trained voice."
DUNEDIN TIMES (FLA.)
"Bonnie Bradley proved to be one of the most sensational mezzo-sopranos
and is one of the best-trained singers you will ever hear. She is
among the finest examples of really fresh, scintillating voices."
BACKSTAGE (N.Y.)
"In the castrato role of Sextus, Bonnie Bradley negotiated
her big Act I aria with skill, ornamenting and trilling her repeats."
DANBURYNEWS TIMES
"Miss Bradley is a rich-voiced mezzo who was entirely at home
on stage."
THE NEWS WORLD (N.Y.)
"Mezzo-soprano Bonnie Bradley sang with a robust richness of
voice that showed a mastery of range and control. Her Act 1 aria
was sung with such ease it belied the intricacy of the music."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
"In a wide-ranging and satisfying program including Purcell,
Mahler, Satie and Ives, she seemed to know exactly what every song
was about and how she intended to interpret it. Some of Miss Bradley's
most rewarding singing came in such lyrical selections as Ives's
"Songs My Mother Taught Me," in which she skilfully shaped
and sustained the long phrases. And she threw herself into Rossini's
"Bel Raggio Lusinghier- from "Semiramide," with plenty
of exuberance as well as an impressive command of the difficult
fioriture. Her diction is excellent and she cares about the words."
