Press commentaries
- Antje Gesine Marsch in "OTZ- Greiz" on 14 June 2006: "We could have continued listening forever! Standing ovations for the young mezzo-soprano. It's hard to believe that Michèle Rödel, the young mezzo-soprano from Zobes, is only 19. What the singer presented for the audience in the "White Salon" at Greiz Lower Castle on this Sunday evening in June was an utterly impressive performance by a brilliant young woman, who excelled with top artistic achievements despite her young age… Her voice was brilliant both in the higher and lower ranges and in the very soft passages…";
- Claudia Hummel in "Neue Presse - Coburg" vom 13.3. 2006: "On Friday night the mezzo-soprano Michèle Rödel gave a thrilling and expressive concert at the Kronach synagogue. This charismatic vocalist delighted the audience with her talent, her charm and gracefulness… Michèle Rödel excelled marvellously and brilliantly and perfected the work of art that she had created in the course of the evening and presented to the audience as a gift…"
- Volker Müller in "Freie Presse - Reichenbach" on 24 April 2006: "Michèle Rödel wins the audience over with arias and songs! … The mezzo-soprano has an exceptionally dramatic streak and the courage to go the whole hog, to dare all and win all. … It was possible to hear sounds that had more than normal stage volume and a refined tone. This was something extraordinary, thrilling and almost slightly mysterious. This made not only the arias a great experience; the dramatic elements also fitted the songs…..."
- Volker Müller in "Freie Presse - Plauen" on 6 November 2006:
"Opera and songs well under control! Michèle Rödel and Kammersänger Prof. Peter Maus gave a joint concert. In the first part Michèle Rödel's sparkling coloraturas made the audience sit up and she gave impressive interpretations of her songs... It was astonishing how quickly the young singer reacted to musical impulses from her partner. ...At times the young woman even seemed to be the more active one...."
- Müller-Uri in "Der Heimatbote No. 8", 2006:
"Young, beautiful and self-confident, the vocalist came onto the stage and fascinated the audience with her vocal and gestural performances of opera arias, mainly highly dramatic ones. … The singer knew how to portray passionate love in a fascinating musical and dramatic manner…"
- Volker Müller "Freie Presse" " on 30 May 2007:
"Wagner and Verdi in one sweep"
"...At the climaxes she totally abandons caution and boldly reaches the point that the audience around the globe is eager to hear: the limits of what is just about possible. …A further virtue of the young Vogtland lady is that her texts remain comprehensible despite the enormous turbulence in the music."
- Gerhard Piehler im "Vogtlandanzeiger" on 2 June 2007:
"A weakness for Wagner"
"...it was clear from the outset that Michèle Rödel has a weakness for Wagner and that she can largely cope with what is needed for singing Wagner. At the same time it became obvious in how many different ways Michèle can use her voice..."
- "Neue Presse" Coburg on 16 July 2007:
"A top-class concert"
"Michèle Rödel demonstrated her versatility and the rich diversity of her voice, which is amazingly mellow for her age. Voluminous even in the highest ranges, then soft and almost fragile again, just like the young woman herself. Especially the general impression of her interpretation – her acting, facial expressions and gestures made the evening a real experience."
- Wolfgang Meyer in "Freie Presse" Zwickau,on 7 August 2007:
"The 20-year old showed that she has an extremely voluminous and versatile voice with a great deal of tone colour, which she masters almost perfectly. Even though she calls herself a mezzo-soprano, her voice reaches far into the soprano range. Furthermore she has the sensitivity for the acting part of the work… a Wagner voice that could not be better."
- Udo Güldner in "Nachrichten" on 28 August 2007:
"A phenomenally talented voice"
"...Michèle Rödel was always sure of herself, as in the Elisabeth aria in Wagner's "Tannhäuser". If necessary, the student of the famous star Gundula Janowitz also felt comfortable when singing forte. …When Michèle Rödel sings this canzone (Azucena's), you can hear the henchmen dragging the victim and the flames spitting. Phenomenal"
- Stefan Reinmann im "Fränkischen Tag" Herzogenaurach on 31 October 2007:
"A great vocalist…"
"...the audience had the privilege of experiencing an upcoming artist from the front row and enjoyed a kind of exclusive opera performance. The rousing applause and the standing ovations from the guests that lasted for minutes were the best proof of the enthusiasm in the audience and Rödel's quality …The young woman has a charming and natural charisma and this is underlined in aesthetic terms by her relatively young age for an opera singer. Her voice, however, has the maturity of an opera diva."
- Tobias Rößler in "Ostthüringer Zeitung" Bad Lobenstein on 15 November 2007:
"A glamorous performance in the church"
"...On Sunday the audience at the benefit concert with Michèle Rödel in the Grace Church in Blankenberg was thrilled by a wonderful voice and the high dramatic art of her presentation. …She was accompanied very sensitively by the pianist Irina Trojan, who also knew how to delight the audience with two solo pieces by Chopin. Both artists proved that soft tones were able to fill the arena at the church too. And they did not hold back with powerful music either, when the vocalist fascinated the audience with an astonishing vocal range. …Michèle Rödel knew how to present the arias dramatically, both with her voice and her movements.
- Antje Gesine Marsch in "Ostthüringer Zeitung" on 15 April 2008: "Shouts of Bravo! for Michèle Rödel's interpretation of Norma in the "White Salon" at Greiz Lower Castle. Once again the mezzo-soprano Michèle Rödel sang herself into the hearts of the music lovers, who had come from all over the region … She interpreted the role of "Norma" in such a moving way, that one wished that time would stand still – there was a breathless silence in the room, which changed into shouts of Bravo! after the last note had faded away."
- Dr. Harald Kubitz in "Sächsische Zeitung", Pirna, on 29 June 2008: "One can still find voice talents. Up-and-coming singer fascinates audience in the Richard-Wagner-Museum Graupa … In Bellini's tremendously demanding &qout;Norma" aria, she applied Maria Callas's concept of reaching a new level of Bel Canto by combining it with great dramatic gifts.
- openRR.de - Press release of 13 August 2008: "Beggar Student and Merry Widow fascinate the audience in Zell am See, Austria. Especially the four young singers – Sarah Längle, Michèle Rödel, Martin Kiener and Gernot Heinrich – disproved the prejudice that the operetta was out of fashion and tawdry in an impressive way. They convinced the audience with their amazing singing talents and a stunning stage presence. The young up-and-coming musicians gave a new definition to the term "Spaßkultur" ("fun culture"). They left no doubt that they enjoyed the concerts to the full.
