Résumé

"...Ms. Richter and I worked together last March when she took on the soprano solos in Handel's L'Allegro, Il Pensieroso ed Il Moderato, which I conducted with the Northwest Chamber Orchestra. To this demanding assignment, Ms. Richter brought a wealth of virtues: flawless intonation, perfect diction, and above all, just the right emotional stance for every aria." --Adam Stern, Music Director, Northwest Chamber Orchestra
