"We thoroughly enjoyed your performance, finding you and your colleague professional, friendly and talented and a pleasure to work with." -Bourne & Hollingsworth "Thanks for creating such a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding reception, Alex. You sang all our favourite numbers and got everyone up on their feet! You've got such sparkle and your voice is so uplifting, you couldn't fail to get the party going. Thanks so much." - Kate Haines "Just wanted to say I thought you were the true star of the night! Great singing and acting combined to make it a memorable performance. You are a true star destined for bigger things! If any one deserved a large bouquet of flowers on that last performance it was you!" - G. Pepper on Alex's Susanna for Opera Southeast "a joy to have you with us...the feedback has been great. Many thanks from all of us here." -Chepstow Choral Society "The society was delighted to welcome two new young soloists to Chepstow. Alexandra Carter, (soprano), and Caryl Hughes, (mezzo-soprano), who both sang beautifully, not only in their individual solo items but also when singing as a duet. Both soloists demonstrated a wide degree of musical expertise in their execution" -Chepstow Free Press "Of all the concerts and recitals we have attended in the locality, this was by far the most enjoyable. Alexandra's singing and Igor's accompaniment were truly marvellous in a nicely balanced programme of the classical and the popular. Our guests were fulsome in their praise of the event." Stanley Moody PhD "Sa voix s'élèva, claire et transparente, soutenue par la plainte nostalgique d'un accordéon... alors l'homme se reprit à croire" -Jacques et Colette Vespiè "Everyone I spoke to thoroughly enjoyed your concert, and given the combination of your beautiful voice and the emotion you put into each of the numbers, it made for an evening of music that I and I'm sure many others will never forget."- Dawn Lewis, Naturewatch Foundation |
