"Labelle has a wonderful voice for this repertoire, clear and light but with plenty of staying power for the extended vocal displays; and the instrumental playing that backs her up is impeccable."ÌýÌý(°Õ°ù²¹²Ô²õ°ä±ð²Ô³Ù³Ü°ù²â)Ìý

"Labelle brings a solid appreciation of the capabilities of all three cantata composers for such expressiveness. There is a clarity to her delivery that leads the attentive listener through unfolding changes in rhetoric, treating the overall cantata basically as a landscape of emotional contexts." (The Rehearsal Studio)

"Labelle sings with a plumy tone, judiciously using vibrato when it best serves the music but never subjecting the listener to the disembodied tone of other early music specialists. Hers is a beautiful full lyric soprano voice and the results of her approach along with the superb accompaniment byÌýMusica PacificaÌýare most satisfying." (Rafael's Music Notes)
