Allegri’s “Miserere” with Musica Sacra

“Soprano Rachel Doehring Jackson performed the iconic high C with expressive tone and color; her final ‘cry’ was more human and celestial—personal, plaintive, and immediate.”

Katheryn Felt, New York Classical Review

“Rachel Doehring Jackson’s soprano soared effortlessly to the work’s famous high C, her crystalline tone floating above the perfectly balanced choir with angelic purity… Jackson’s soprano rode above the ensemble with flawless intonation, her expressive phrasing illuminating the text’s pleas for mercy and spiritual cleansing. The choir’s supporting voices created a velvet cushion of sound. Their precision in dynamics and articulation revealed musical sophistication and spiritual depth.”

“Jackson and Vasconi then collaborated marvelously on three songs by Joaquin Rodrigo. The first two — ‘¿Con qué la lavaré?’ and ‘Romancillo’ — were tinged with regrets, while the text of the third, ‘Pastorcito santo’ (Holy Little Shepherd), a poem by the Spanish Golden Age writer Lope de Vega, was somewhat more upbeat. Jackson’s lustrous soprano voice along with her evident warmth and charm brought these songs vividly to life.”

“Chunky in Heat” with experiments in Opera

“…Rachel Doehring, whose bright soprano gave a tender fragility to Abigail and a manic joy to the Shapeshifter.”

Opera News

“Soprano Rachel Doehring was lithe and agile as the Shapeshifter, absolutely lovable, endearing and wise. That she managed to create an equally human Abigail was far more remarkable.”

Seen and Heard International

“Rachel Doehring’s sharp-edged soprano is perfect for Abigail’s neurosis and the shapeshifter’s impulsivity.”

San Fransisco Classical Voice

“Rachel Doehring plays a wacko sister, and also a coyote hanging out in the backyard. She is more fierce and less maternal than The Cunning Vixen, adding menace and also a light charm in her lovely light soprano and her animal gestures.”

“The mozart project” with peter serkin

“Soprano Rachel Doehring, with Serkin on piano, sang three Mozart lieder (out of about thirty he had written). Doehring sang with full confidence, power, and expert dramatic phrasing these three charming lyrics; she endowed each song with their peculiar, charming humor.”
