Benjamin
RUSSELL
Fantastic reviews for baritone BENJAMIN RUSSELL, who will present parts of the CD at a recital at Stanford Festival, Oct 12th: "Russell provides an energetic, jaunty rendition and captures the emotions of the day, while in “The Chapel on the Hill,” he successfully takes on the role of an old man reflecting on his fond childhood memories of the local chapel. In “The West Wind,” Russell shows off his interpretative skills to good effect as he conjures up a picture of the wind’s path across Wicklow. Reflecting the calm of the previous evening, his voice quickly gathers pace and urgency as the gale awakens, and his neatly placed accenting causes the vocal line to become turbulent and excited as the wind races across the Lough, then slows slightly before eventually picking up pace again. Eventually, he calls out in a state of agitation and desperation for the wind to relent. It is an exciting and detailed journey in which the listener is able to feel and imagine the full effect of the wind on the landscape. (Opera Wire) Baritone Benajim Russell is a remarkable presence. His gorgeous and bright timbre, impecable and Cristal-clear diction, and wealth characterisation are the work of am star Lied artist. (Fanfare)
