“If I had to choose one of the soloists to represent me before my maker, it would be Jacalyn Kreitzer. Hers is a voice of a wonderful variety of tone colors coupled with intelligent and subtle nuance. Her singing was always first-rate, but especially in the “Liber scriptus” and “Lux aeterna”. ” Verdi’s Requiem/Greensboro Symph.
