Opera Magazine reviews Michael Spyres’ Delos release A Fool for Love
Opera, “the world’s leading opera magazine” has published a review of Michael Spyres’ new release A Fool for Love in their February 2012 publication!
Opera Magazine Review:
“In purely vocal terms this is a convincing collection, demonstrating a notable ability to characterize with the voice; each of Spyres’s dozen heroes draws on a slightly different set of tonal colours. Technically, he is up to pretty well every demand…
“‘Una furtive lagrima’ shows delicacy and skill as Spyres’s voice blossoms into the melancholy, lyrical line. There’s genuine artistry, too, in ‘Il mio tesoro’, and a nicely veiled quality to ‘Je crois entendre encore’ from Les Pêcheurs de perles…
“All in all, it’s a very enjoyable collection, with the voice nicely highlighted in the recording and the accompaniments well managed.” – George Hall
