"The best thing of all, though, is an X factor based on the heft Keenlyside gives the material. He sings a couple of numbers from Carousel, the most serious and problematical of all the musicals, and he gets to the human spirit in something as light as Rodgers' It Might as Well Be Spring. An ideal gift item for those who enjoy the operatic/musical theater boundary line".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "Simon Keenlyside is one of the greatest stylists among opera singers, whether in Mozart or Verdi or Britten. It turns out - for a wonder - that he's just as idiomatic in Broadway roles, and this is a terrific recording ... A faboulous sense of lyrical line, a gorgeous creamy tone, acute characterization and superb diction, all the songs performed with a style and flair that is impossible to resist ... I can't praise this disc too highly ... Outstanding from start to finish".
