“As Leicester, Californian Tod Wilander had a good grasp of Donizettian style; he has a recently sung the title role in Roberto Devereux in Buxton. Wilander has a useful lyric tenor voice with an enviable freedom at the top of the stave...I would imagine he is well suited to Mozart as well. But he sang Leicester with passion and commitment and a neat line in fioriture. His was a dramatic performance -- he certainly did not just stand and sing.”
