Reviews
Samets- CARMINA AMORIS
Soprano Tami Petty....delivered a performance of great beauty, conveying heartbreak as she navigated the extremes of register with brilliance. - NY Concert Review
LOTTE LEHMAN FOUNDATION RECITAL
The art songs sung by Ms.Petty gave her the opportunity to demonstrate her excellent German and formidable dramatic skills. She showed a wide emotional range without any artifice whatesoever; it seemed as if every gesture came from a deep inner place. The often heard and always appreciated Maestro was with her every step of the way and gave a particularly light and lively rendition of "Ganymed". She was absolutely adorable singing "There are Fairies at the Bottom of our Garden" and charmingly sly in her encore, Granados' "El Majo Discreto". - The Opera Insider
Rossini - PETITE MESSE SOLENNELLE
For sheer beauty of voice itself, I was absolutely stunned by Tami Petty. Was it Rossini style? I wouldn't bother to answer that question. Such a beauty and purity of tone is so rare that I could only listen in ethereal pleasure. - www.conceronet.net
Rossini - IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA (Bertha)
