ARIADNE AUF NAXOS - JUNE 1992 |
John Treleaven sang the “voice-murdering“ joyous tones of Bacchus with astonishing brilliance and without effort. One seldom hears this part sung so securely. |
Opernwelt |
John Treleaven as Bacchus displayed a powerful tenor voice. Peter Brenner directed him in a rather static way but the interpretation seemed to benefit from this. After all, this is a notoriously difficult, even dreaded part that the singer mastered admirably. |
Das Orchestra |
John Treleaven mastered the role of Bacchus with a remarkable shining tenor voice. |
Darmstädter Echo |
John Treleaven as Bacchus shines with vigorous heroic power and a voice of cast iron. |
