“Isabel Leonard makes a believable Child, from the tantrums at the start to the pity, sympathy and loneliness of the ending. Her warm mezzo comes into its own at ‘Toi, le coeur de la rose’, where Ravel tips his hat to ‘Adieu, notre petite table’ in Massenet’s Manon.”
Richard Lawrence – Gramophone
“Isabel Leonard—a guarantee of quality whatever she sings—makes an irresistible child in L’Enfant.”
“Isabel Leonard is the Child, never coyly childish . . .”
Andrew Clements – The Guardian
