Press reviews: "Rebekkah Hilgraves proves that some people are simply born to perform the music of certain genres or composers. Without reservation I can say much the same about Ms. Hilgraves and French chansons, especially in her readings of the extraordinarily compelling works of Charles Bordes, a contemporary of Debussy. A lyric soprano with a silvery voice, impeccable diction and real interpretive savoir faire, she sings these -- as well as music of Debussy and the always charming Duparc -- divinely. Very much in the refined tradition of Claire Croiza, Yvonne Printemps and Suzanne Danco... How I would love to hear this splendid chanson interpreter as Melisande! Anyone casting at the moment?" -- John Bell Young Identity Marketing for Concert Artists distinguished pianist and critic(Opera News, American Record Guide)
