ALEXANDER ROBIN BAKER
REVIEWS “…majestically sung by Baker…” Edoardo 111 : L’Assiedo di Calais / GSMD / Music OMH “…Alexander Robin Baker gave us a supple, unforced The trumpet shall sound…” Messiah / Bath Choral Society / Bath Chronicle “From its aching Mahlerian introduction through to its close, the symphony is an emotional journey, with a beating heart of profound compassion and conciliation, sung by the SCO and the magnificent baritone Alexander Robin Baker, a late replacement soloist who penetrated the soul of the music. I don’t know what little time he had to learn it, but he did it well”. Harper: Symphony No. 2 / Scottish Chamber Orchestra / The Herald “At its heart is Them! Not Us!, set to a powerful poem by Ron Butlin which explores the tragic deaths of children, particularly those caught up in war. The honeyed tones of baritone Alexander Robin Baker, stepping in for an indisposed Leigh Melrose, made the words all the more chilling.” Harper: Symphony No. 2 / Scottish Chamber Orchestra / The Scotsman “The rich-toned baritone Alexander Robin Baker…” Harper: Symphony No. 2 / Scottish Chamber Orchestra / The Times “The servants Norton and Clarina were strongly drawn by Alexander Robin Baker and Raquel Luis.” Norton: La cambiale di matrimonio / GSMD / Opera “Second prize went to baritone Alexander Robin Baker who perhaps came closest to producing the “wow” factor that spellbinds an audience.” Kathleen Ferrier Competition 2008 / Musical Pointers “His was by far the most sensitive and musically intelligent singing of the evening…” Kathleen Ferrier Competition 2008 / The Times |
