Review: "To Lenny with Love"

Unlike her sister Natalia, the blues-folk singer-songwriter I fell in love with last year at Club Helsinki, Arianna Zukerman is a classical singer whose lyric soprano has been applauded widely and wildly. To see and hear her in our own little opera house of sorts, was to exult in the lusciousness of her voice, face, and figure (sorry, but it’s all part of the gorgeous package). Not to mention her acting chops, comic and tragic.

“...Arianna’s soaring soprano impressed…[Her] singing of a Reynaldo Hahn song was lovely with some fine accompaniment by pianist Giovani Reggioli. But her mixing of “I’m Just a Gal Who Can’t Say No” from Oklahoma with “100 Easy Ways to Lose a Man” from Wonderful Town made me think she’s missed her vocation. She’s’ obviously a born comedienne!”

Pinchas Zukerman conducts Arianna Zukerman, Wallis Giunta, Gordon Gietz as they sing Beethoven Symphony No. 9 with the National Arts Centre Orchestra
Pinchas Zukerman says heartfelt farewell to National Arts Centre Orchestra

"After an intermission, Beethoven’s 9th (a favourite of Zukerman’s) proved to be the real kicker. The orchestra came in with a rejuvenated verve, expressing thanks to Zukerman for the many years of joyful music. Soprano Arianna Zukerman, daughter of Pinchas; mezzo Wallis Giunta, tenor Gordon Gietz, bass-baritone Robert Gleadow and a full chorus all gave a stunning “Ode to Joy.”"

Arianna Zukerman, whose pleasant voice fused
nicely with the orchestra, was particularly striking in the wonderful duet with the solo violin –
her father – Pinchas Zukerman. Chemistry clearly passes through the blood.” Read More...

“Arianna Zukerman sings with subdued beauty.”

Glover Makes "Messiah" Special

“[Pancella] and Zukerman conjured peace itself in their duo aria ‘He shall feed his flock,’ while Zukerman put lots of joy in the florid ‘Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion.’”

Mary Ellyn Hutton, Music in Cincinnati
Glover's 'Messiah' fresh, inspiring
“Soprano Arianna Zukerman displayed a crystalline voice in her appearances, and handled cascades of coloratura passages brilliantly in her first full aria, ‘Rejoice greatly."

A Bit of Heaven and Earth: Verdi's Requiem Offer the Best of Both Worlds
"Soprano Arianna Zukerman was in fine form. Even in the full forte sections of the chorus and orchestra, Zukerman ‘s soprano was sheer perfection. One of the most glorious moments of her singing was a thrilling high ‘C' in the Rex Tremendae that seemed totally effortless. Together in the Recordare, Zukerman and Maguire sang with harmonious unity. It was like two angels offering an ode of comfort, further accentuated by the gentle dancing of the flutes."

National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorale perform a powerful Verdi's Requiem
"The quartet of vocal soloists was generally satisfying, with Arianna Zukerman's glowing soprano and Kevin Deas's grainy, authoritative bass taking the honors."

'Rape of Lucretia,' Castleton Opera review
"Tenor Vale Rideout stole the show, perhaps, in a bravura performance as the Male Chorus. But he was well matched by soprano Arianna Zukerman as the Female Chorus."

Review: TSO, choirs bring forth a joyful Beethoven
"[Richard Zeller's] vocal compatriots - the powerful tenor Scott Ramsay, meltingly rich mezzo Stacey Rishoi, and brilliant soprano Arianna Zukerman - articulated the powerful texts in a superb example of ensemble singing."
Sallly Vallongo, The Toledo Blade
Messiah in the Cathedral
"Of the soloists, Zukerman and Rogers stood out for evenness of tone, ease on high, and fluidity of embellishment. Zukerman's softly floated high notes are especially impressive, giving hints of their potential to ravish in the right setting. When she sings forte, her tone's dramatic fullness makes a colorful contrast with the wispy, fluty quality of the choir's sopranos. The clarity and excellence of her variations in such well-worn works as 'Rejoice greatly' and 'He shall feed his Flock' reinvigorated those much-loved arias."
Jason Victor Serinus, San Francisco Classical Voice
"Soprano Arianna Zukerman, the daughter of virtuoso violinist Pinchas Zukerman, intensified and hushed her high notes on command for stunning shapeliness in phrases." Read More...

Mozart's Requiem - Music of the Baroque
"MOB fielded an excellent quartet of soloists. Arianna Zukerman rode the soprano line with luminous ease. Zukerman's timbre is not of the ethereally floated variety one may associate with this music (a Battle or an Auger, say), but she is a characterful, technically accomplished singer. Here, she gave a lovely performance, with the requisite liquid trills for the Benedictus."
Mark Thomas Ketterson, Opera News

Whitbourn's Annelies

“The ensemble included Daniel Hope, violinist, the Residence Chamber Choir Den Haag, and the magnificent presentation and vocalism of Arianna Zukerman. It made such an impression that some audience members decided to forego the concert events they had booked for later in the evening in order to remain.”

Symphony concert talents very impressive
"Soprano Zukerman impressed throughout the work with a warm, flexible and velvety voice that rode out the loudest passages with ease. In the impassioned 'Libera me,' she became a tormented Aida-like heroine beseeching the heavens with dramatic flair and soaring pianissimi."
