In the evening of March 30^th 2010, on stage of the Small Hall of the Romanian Athenaeum, soprano Valentina Naforniţă succeeded in giving an exceptional recital which proved rare natural talent as well as obvious meticulousness involved in the performance, coming, of course, from very hard work. Her voice, bright and equal all along, has been attended by uncommon sensitivity, naturalness, but also by rare talent for acting. Of course, the careful and sensitive performance of pianist Alexandru Petrovici has had its contribution to the success of the recital. Such talent, like that of soprano Valentina Naforniţă, is very rare and therefore extremely valuable.
