“Her taste is flawless, her repertory limitless.”
Ned Rorem
“. . . a superb mezzo with a luxurious voice and gripping dramatic instincts! ”
The New York Times
“Katherine Ciesinski, the Geshwitz, was a sensitive interpreter, catching more of the troubled quality of the Countess that most mezzos who have sung the role.”
- Harold C. Schonberg, The New York Times
"The supporting cast is strong, though Nathan Berg (the Doctor) and Katherine Ciesinski (luxury casting in the tiny role of Margret) stand out as vividly drawn, uncaricatured vocal actors."
Peter Quantrill, Gramophone
