"Anna Larsson's Erda responded to the Wanderer's every word in subtle gestures and movement, her smooth voice full of sorrow and mystery, to create an image of a very human-earth goddess." Ako Imamura for Bachtrack in September 2019, Siegfried Berliner Staatsoper, Daniel Barenboim.

"For a contralto of Anna Larsson's caliber to appear in a one-scene role like Waltraute is a case of luxury casting if ever there was one." David Karlin, 17 June 2019 for Bachtrack, Götterdämmerung, Müpa, Adam Fischer.

Anna has recorded numerous CDs with both operas and Concert repertoire. They are listed on her homepage. Most of them you can find on Spotify or Youtube.
