“Rachel Nicholls whose recent transformation into a dramatic soprano might itself be the stuff of mythology, was a wonderful Brünnhilde: rich, fiery and utterly credible, she was also capable of bringing the intimacy and immediacy of lieder to moments of expressiveness..”

Rian Evans, The Guardian, July 2012
