Reviews

Caroline MacPhie, the only Brit, put over her material with far more dramatic verve than anyone else; her Cunning Little Vixen extract, sung in Czech, was especially gripping.

Richard Morrison
The Times (Final, Kathleen Ferrier Awards, 2009)

Her bright, light lyrical soprano voice… also has dramatic bite. The performance is imaginative and eloquent…

One must also mention the performance of the beautiful Caroline MacPhie in the (far too brief) role of a young girl…

Gérard Ferrand
Le Forum ODB Opéra (Die Gezeichneten, Opéra de Lyon 2015)

Her poised voice has strong high notes, complimenting her excellent diction.

MacPhie sings with haunting sensitivity and emotional engagement… This lovely disc marks the arrival of a fine young recitalist.

…the highly accomplished Caroline MacPhie…

Roger Jones
Gloucestershire Echo (Cheltenham Festival with the Elias Quartet & Tom Poster, 2011)

Caroline MacPhie sang Berenice’s difficult music surely and truly….in the aria she spun her notes into touching, lovely lines.

Andrew Porter
Opera Magazine (L'occasione fa il ladro, Royal Academy Opera, 2009)

…as Susanna, Caroline MacPhie reveals a clear soprano and excellent enunciation in a performance that proves to be just as sharp as the character.

Sam Smith
Music OMH (The Marriage of Figaro, West Green House, 2015)

The talented Caroline MacPhie…

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres
Bachtrack (Messiah, Bristol Old Vic, 2013)

…Caroline MacPhie whose acting must be applauded as well as her far too brief vocal performance.
