- STLToday.com

"Both vocally and dramatically, Jamie Barton is an appealing Suzuki."
- The Dallas Morning News

"Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton delivers another powerful performance as Cio-Cio-san’s loyal servant..."

“Mezzo-soprano and [Tanglewood Music Center] fellow Jamie Barton gave an impressive performance of Olly Wilson’s 1976 Sometimes, for voice and tape, a haunting piece based on the spiritual “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child.”
- ArtsBeat

“[Olly] Wilson’s work, a wide-ranging set of variations, expansions and fragmentations within a texture of swirling recorded voices and electronic sounds, was sung with gospel-powered fervor by Jamie Barton, a mezzo-soprano.”
- New York Times
