“Daniel last appeared at NYCHORAL Sings in a phenomenal performance of Verdi’s Requiem.”

“Ms. Daniel’s “Dich, teure Halle” from Wagner’s Tannhäuser was delivered with joyful abandon and a powerful ringing tone. Her German diction was excellent.”

“Part one began with the superb piano accompanist Mary Pinto and young soprano Amber Daniel. Ms. Daniel, who is a student of Diana Soviero, began with Vissi d’arte from Puccini’s Tosca. Ms. Daniel’s voice has clarity, strength, power and fullness. Her notes were tapered beautifully and her pause before the final “Cosi” added greatly to the drama. Her second selection was a rarity and tour de force,”Pace non trovo” from Sonetti di Petrarca, almost Wagnerian in its intensity and full of the pianistic virtuosity of its composer Franz Liszt. It resembled Liebestraum with words. Ms. Daniel sang with pathos, intensity and depth. Amber Daniel evokes memories of the great American soprano Eleanor Steber.”

““The two lovers, Amber Novak Daniel and Christopher Eaglin, were more than satisfactory), In fact, their duet, where Mr. Eaglin explains to the blind princess about the glories of the visual world (and she replies, “But how do you see the chirping of a bird in the bush?”) was stunning music and emotional vocalism
