“ Michèle Losier has a voice that's both mellow and brazen. The mezzo brings an unusual degree of power, even gutsiness, to her mostly light repertoire. ”  (Opera News)

“ Michèle Losier is Canadian and is one of the revelations of the week […] The voice is magnificent, superbly colored in all the registers […]: an authentic artist gifted with a subtle and rich musicality and a stupendous stage presence. ” (Le Soir)

" Musically, the evening belonged to Canadian mezzosoprano Michèle Losier as Charlotte. She made her character's inner battle between love and duty, ecstasy and restraint completely believable. Supple and strong across her range, she displayed splendid clarity of articulation, a rich array of tone colour, and subtle dynamic control. It was a magnificent performance: emotionally mature and vocally virtuosic. " (The Australian)

In 2009, Michèle Losier recorded with pianist Daniel Blumenthal the complete Chansons from Henri Duparc under the Fuga Libera label. This CD, showcasing exquisitely refined and passionate music that is too rarely sung, has received warm praises from the critics :

" We could dwell on the qualities of each of these 16 interpretations, but let's just admire the balance between lyricism and exaltation in this exquisite recital, the magnificent and memorable voice, and the magistral accompaniment from Daniel Blumenthal. " (Scherzo, Spain)

" Losier succeeds exceedingly well in the merging of words and the singing line. The pronunciation is never too much emphasized and never threatens the melodic line. [Where other singers cautiously caress the music]; Losier exalts it. There is no doubt that Losier will attract a lot of attention with this recital. "(Le Devoir, Canada)

" Mezzo-soprano Michèle Losier approaches in the most ideal way: a strong high register, appealing low notes, and a strong creative temperament. " (De Klassik Heute, Germany)

The CD is available in music stores and on the internet, at Amazon.com and on the iTunes Store.
