Frederick Urrey
REVIEWS

Handel Messiah - Musica Sacra, Carnegie Hall, NYC
NY TIMES "Frederick Urrey was especially attractive in the tenor solos, singing with a solid, steady delivery and an absolute confidence in the most florid music."

Bach St. Matthew Passion - Princeton Pro Musica, NJ
Classical New Jersey "Tenor Frederick Urrey as the evangelist maintains the freshness of youthful tones combined with fullness of professional maturity. The adjective most frequently mentioned in connection with Alfredo Kraus is exactly the one I would use to describe Mr. Urrey's voice-- elegance."

Handel Alexander Balus - Emmanuel Music, Boston
"Tenor Frederick Urrey was radiant in this aria about the order of the universe and in his denunciation of calumny sang as fast as the much-publicized Rockwell Blake, and with a rounder and more ringing tone."

Bach Mass in B Minor - Bethlehem Bach Festival, PA
Bethlehem Globe-Times "The vocal soloists faced the inordinate difficulties with remarkable skill. I found the vocal endowment, technical finesse, and musicality of Mr. Urrey outstanding."

Gluck Telemacco - Pro Arte Chorale, Lincoln Center
NY TIMES "Frederick Urrey as Ulisse sang with a melting tenor."

O Mistress Mine: A Collection of English Lute Songs (Dorian Recordings)

Bach St. John Passion - New Jersey Bach Festival, Newark

The Berkshire Record "....Frederick Urrey's superb rendition. His light, flexible tenor voice conveyed words and music with utter clarity and exquisite phrasing."

Britten Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings - Rutgers Summerfest

Mozart Idomeneo - City Musick, Chicago
Chicago Sun-Times "In the title role, Frederick Urrey gave a passionate, well-sung performance."

Mozart Idomeneo - Emmanuel Music, Boston
Boston Globe "Frederick Urrey took the title role. He is a first- class Mozart singer in the refined tradition of Leopold Simnoeau. His singing has tonal beauty, line, finesse, and real virtuosity, as his triumphant performance of 'Fuor del mar' demonstrated - this is one of the supreme challenges of the tenor repertory."

Mozart Die Zauberflöte - Mozartoper Salzburg
Fuldaer Zeitung "The triumph of the evening was the Tamino. With Frederick Urrey rises the star of a genuine Mozart tenor. His bright, warm, lyric tenor voice has the typical timbre that the Mozart singer needs. He can, along with Peter Schreier, become the successor of the unforgettable Fritz Wunderlich. He combines musicality with exceptional technical ability."
