MOZART An Italian Journey (recording)
In technical
terms,and particularly in his outstandingly idiomatic Italian
enunciation, Ovenden proves complete master of his chosen repertory...
I have only admiration.
Max Loppert, BBC Music magazine
The fine tenor Jeremy
Ovenden, who has sung most of the major Mozart roles all over Europe,
sings with an engaging commitment to these joyous creations… a
delightful selection.
Ovenden’s attractive, bright tenor… his rhythm, diction and easy
flexibility of voice are exemplary.
David
Cairns, The Sunday Times (£)
HAYDN Die
Jahreszeiten (recording)
Jeremy Ovenden…is
especially good in Haydn’s marvellous evocations of the summer dawn and
the midday heat.
Richard
Wigmore, Gramophone
Davis also has a fine cast of soloists. Jeremy Ovenden as Lucas reminds
one with his flexibility and lovely open sound of Philip Langridge
(there can be little higher praise)
Piers
Burton-Page, International Record Review
…Jeremy Ovenden’s
eager, eloquent tenor…
George Hall, BBC Music magazine
Betulia Liberata,
Salzburg Festival
Particularly
outstanding is the high, fleet voice of English tenor Jeremy Ovenden
who rolls off divisions and trills smoothly, even effortlessly, with
ringing clarity in his upper register and utter control of softer
textures.

Williams, Fanfare
Semele, Brussels
Jeremy Ovenden
delivers a highly persuasive, handsomely sung Jupiter
Don
Giovanni, Milan
Jeremy Ovenden
è un Don Ottavio dalla voce corretto, soprattutto nelle
agilità, affrontate con sicurezza.
Ottima la dizione.
Alcina,
Milan
Jeremy Ovenden ha
voce morbida e disegna un Oronte elegante e distante, dall’aplomb
inglese.
Jeremy Ovenden che
ricordavamo grande interprete britteniano e che abbiamo ritrovato qui
superbo tenore di mezzo carrattere. Voce agile ben proiettata, sicura
nelle agilita: il cantante britannico ha saputo ricreare il suo
personaggio.

Servis par
d'excellentes voix d'ou émergent a haut niveau la prestation du
tenor
Jeremy Ovenden en Ferrando, a la voix caressante dans la tendresse,
capable de dureté dans la colère, toujours intelligent.
l'Opera
Così fan tutte, Copenhagen
Jeremy Ovenden sings
the tenor part of Ferrando so very lyrically and
wonderfully
La Fida Ninfa,
Paris
Jeremy Ovenden has a
beautiful legato and a beautiful mastery of mixed voice. His Deh! Ti piega is superb.
Alain Zurcher,
L'Atelier du Chanteur
Semele, Edinburgh
This was gourmet
stuff. The Jupiter, Jeremy Ovenden, proved a match for
Milne’s brilliance; he had the right lightness of tone and mobility for
this unusual part (a tenor hero, not a castrato – extraordinary for
1744) and I Must With Speed Amuse
Her flashed and crackled with
glittering fioriture, followed by the famous Where’er You Walk, pure,
classical, poised.
Raymond Monelle,
Opera Magazine
Jeremy Ovenden’s
Jupiter is another tour de force. The wonderfully
refined line of his Where’er You Walk
and fabulously clean and
impressive coloratura of the aria before it, I Must With Speed Amuse
Her, are only two examples of his flawless and stylish singing.
Frank Carroll, Sunday Herald
Jeremy Ovenden must
be one of the few modern singers who can encompass
the prodigious virtuosity of the Act ll air, I Must With Speed Amuse
Her, and then touch the heart with the chaste lyricism of Where’er You
Walk.
Raymond
Monelle, The Independent
… an intelligent…
highly competent singer… his line, power and
coloratura were all excellent…
Jeremy Ovenden’s
Jupiter is faultlessly stylish… Where’er You Walk is
the centre of a half-hour stretch of unsurpassed music that generates a
magical degree of sensual bliss and erotic tension.
Jeremy
Ovenden, who
was allowed to roll about on the ground as Jupiter
in priapic agony, had an appropriate touch of Rory Bremner's Oliver
Letwin and was impressively funny and strange. He also sang impeccably.
Saul,
Brussels
Ottimo il Jonathan
del tenore Jeremy Ovenden, reduce da esperienze Mozartiane per le
qualità evidentemente il colore, la linea, illegato
e il fraseggio...
L'Opera
Christmas
Oratorio, Jerusalem
Jeremy Ovenden, whose
soft, clear and endearing tenor, fulfilled all
one's expectations...
Jerusalem Post
Solomon, New York
Jeremy Ovenden’s
rounded tenor gave Zadok’s music an appealing warmth.
