What the critics say
.
Stephen Johnson, The Scotsman
“Lieder singers rarely present themselves as naturally as baritone Simon Keenlyside.”
Michael Tumelty for the Glasgow Herald, 3 September 1999
“Simon Keenlyside is, without question, one of the outstanding British baritones of his generation”
“…relaxed and fabulously characterised version of Ravel's Histoires Naturelles”
