Her swaying style and distinct musical interpretations are strictly Svetlana, and while she has not patterned herself after anyone, she seems to assume a dozen personalities, all showing off her uncommon beauty to advantage…” — Los Angeles Times

“Svetlana is a superb artist, at times commanding comparison to Streisand…” — Jewish News, Sydney, Australia
