Международная пресса о голосе Лежневой
Юлия Лежнева является одним из немногих музыкантов, достигших такой широкой международной известности в столь юном возрасте («The Independent») благодаря своему голосу ангельской красоты («The New York Times»), обладающему чистейшей интонацией («Opernwelt», «Die Welt») и безупречной техникой («The Guardian»). Норман Лебрехт, описывая дарование певицы, называет её «взлетающей в стратосферу»
Анализируя творчество Лежневой, газета The Australian обращает внимание на «редкое сочетание врождённого таланта, обезоруживающей искренности, всеобъемлющего артистизма и изысканной музыкальности…, глубинное единство физической и вокальной экспрессии». Пианист и дирижёр Михаил Шехтман отмечал, что Лежнева «среди барочных певцов, у которых не очень объёмные голоса, поёт барокко душевнее всех, она поёт барокко как бельканто
Например, она поёт песни Беллини, Доницетти или Чайковского и переносит эту манеру на пение медленных арий Вивальди или Генделя».
Season 2010 – 2011: Rossini CD, Tour & Les Huguenots — with Marc Minkowski
Naïve released the artist’s first solo recording in spring 2011, Rossini arias with Marc Minkowski and Sinfonia Varsovia.

Highlights of the season included concert performances of Mozart’s Così fan tutte—singing the role of Fiordiligi—with Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble, a debut at La Monnaie as Urbain in a new production by Olvier Py of Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots conducted by Mr. Minkowski, Stravinsky’s Le Rossignol and Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta at the Salzburg Festival, opposite Anna Netrebko, with Ivor Bolton conducting the Mozarteum Orchestra, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor under Giovanni Antonini also at the Salzburg Festival, and an American debut in performances of the Mozart Requiem with Louis Langrée and the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra at Lincoln Center.
Lezhneva’s acclaimed stage debut at the Théâtre Royal La Monnaie in Brussels earned the artist one of the most prestigious international opera awards: Opernwelt «Nachwuchssängerin des Jahres 2011».
Season 2014 — 2015: Recital at the Bolshoi, Debut at the Royal Opera House & ‘Handel’ CD
Lezhneva started the season with Handel’s Alessandro in concert version alongside Max Cencic at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow.

Lezhneva also reprised J.A.Hasse’s ‘Siroe’ in Budapest Vígszínház and Theater an der Wien opposite Max Cencic & performed Handel’s Alessandro at the Brussels Palais de Beaux-Arts in concert version.

Mozart’s ‘Don Giovanni’ (Zerlina) opposite Christopher Maltman, Alex Esposito, Albina Shagimuratova, Dorothea Roeschmann & Rolando Villazón.
