Channa Malkin

"It is the affect—not the effect—that grips you by the throat. Through the soprano and ensemble's profound commitment and their unaffected yet highly expressive rhetoric, a wide range of emotions is brought to life with rare poignancy."

OpusKlassiek — Fury / Mercy

"Channa Malkin has created a beautiful album with a thoughtful, intelligent programme. Her approach is deeply felt, and her voice sounds youthful and fresh."

OpusKlassiek — This Is Not a Lullaby

"Listening to Channa Malkin's clear, flowing voice is a true pleasure, but her new album is much more than an aesthetic experience."

de Volkskrant ★★★★ — Songs of Love and Exile

"An extraordinary album. Her voice is beautiful: youthful in timbre, mature in interpretation. Her storytelling is compelling."

de Volkskrant ★★★★ — Songs of Love and Exile

"The melody is comforting and sung with persuasive suggestiveness by Malkin, subtle use of vibrato and colour creating an enticing embrace."

Opera Today — This Is Not a Lullaby

"Malkin's soprano is pure and smooth but full of feeling."

Opera Today — This Is Not a Lullaby

"Neither registral extreme troubles Malkin, who sings with impressive focus. [...] Malkin's registral range and sheer power and presence are stunning."

Opera Today — This Is Not a Lullaby

"She makes the drama profoundly tangible."

Theaterkrant — Non muore mai

"Her melancholic timbre is perfectly suited to Respighi's music and the story. Alongside her flawlessly pure vocal performance, Malkin also proves herself to be a gifted actress."

Theaterkrant — Non muore mai

"Among the soloists, Channa Malkin stood out for her musicality, vocal artistry and phrasing, captivating the audience from beginning to end, particularly through her agility and ornamentation in the freer passages of her arias."

La Opinión de Málaga — Acis & Galatea

"De Nederlandse sopraan Channa Malkin voegt zich navenant in deze kolkende muziek met een verbazingwekkende coloratuurtechniek. Malkin is ook niet te beroerd om haar borststem aan te spreken voor maximaal theatraal effect."

Trouw ★★★★ — Fury / Mercy

"The flexible voice of Channa Malkin moves radiantly and freely through the notes, with emotional accents. Beyond the thematic content, naturalness is the guiding principle, both in the voice and in the use of instruments. A lively energy resonates in every note, every phrase, every sound—rhetorically natural and full of beauty."

Fanfare Magazine — Fury / Mercy

"It is always about the authenticity of emotion rather than polishing the sound. That is what makes this album so compelling: something genuinely meaningful is at stake."
