''Her approach was restrained and musicianly, her tone well maintained through her range. She gave the impression of being solid as a rock.

Let’s hope we get to hear more of this young singer soon.''

''In the role of Alisa, Gemma Ní Bhriain is very convincing, even irreproachable. A very good actress, she also manages to retranscribe the fear and helplessness that animate her voice, without using great dramatic forces.''
