‘Now there is nothing her voice cannot do… the timbre, the sweep, the range soaring higher than even a third octave but remaining as clear and pleasant…her rendering of ragas has acquired a greater depth and variation especially under the guidance of Dilshad Khan’ (Indian Express)

Parveen Sultana
 
‘We forget ourselves in the extraordinary and spiritual and blessed voice of Parveen Sultana.  We do not need to think twice about her unrivalled position as one of the greats in terms of purity of voice’ (Kerala Kaumudi, India)
 
‘Her voice rings out uninhibited, clear, strong and firm.  The audience thunders its applause…. the ultimate Soprano.’  (Eve’s Weekly, India)

‘Breathtaking virtuosity over a range of four to five octaves…European music does not know anything comparable’
 (Hamburg Abendblatt, Germany)
 
‘Unspoilt genius of Hindustani Music’ (India Weekly, London, 1997).
 
‘There was an ecstatic spiritual quality to her voice, from the first note to the last, it was a keening paean of devotion to beauty, light, love, and the Inner Self’ (Zameen, UK 1997)
