Jennifer Reff: Press

"The idea of Victorian classical crossover is just brilliant! It's an idea I've toyed with myself in a more vague, general, "that would be cool" sort of way. Now someone has actually done it! Kudos to Jennifer."

"Enchanting music performed by classical crossover recording artist, Jennifer Reff. A combination of opera, pop, and delicate vocals take you away to the romantic world of Victorian melodrama. Perfect music for afternoon tea or background music while working at your desk - very soothing. The CD cover features Jennifer beautifully dressed in lace with a cameo necklace."

"Opera-trained Jennifer Reff releases a debut album with a combination of operatic tracks and some covers of contemporary songs. She uses a Puccini aria to start with, and it shows off her vocal prowess well. The Tori Amos song Winter gets a faithful and mostly successful reading. Reff uses a lower register than on the first song and that works well for this song. The traditional In Hebrid Seas is done delicately, with Reff singing beautifully. The version of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights works reasonably without replacing the original in anyone’s heart. A closing version of Visage’s Fade to Grey is inspired, transforming the synth pop classic into a slower, more sensitive song. The contemporary opera genre has one more star to be, that much is clear."
