Panthaki "Superbly Embodies" the Title Role in Handel's Deborah with a "Spark of Magic"
Reviewing the performance with Germany's NDR Orchestra and conductor Nicholas McGegan, Sherezade Panthaki is warmly received by the Göttinger Tageblatt: "It is the eight magnificent soloists who breathe life into the story from the Old Testament about the prophetess Deborah. On this evening, soprano Sherezade Panthaki stands out and superbly embodies the role of Deborah - and at the same time, that of a strong woman, with her sovereign charisma. Her voice has the spark of magic that propels the heart of the oratorio, connecting the individual scenes with pressure and breathlessness, making the narrative extremely vivid."
