“Tenor Brad Diamond and baritone Philip Cutlip were gorgeously matched in ‘The Parable of the Old Men and the Young’”
Alicia Anstead, Bangor Maine, May 2000
“The prize of the performance was tenor Brad Diamond, the Evangelist or narrator of the story, the voice that Bach gave the most words and some of the trickiest vocal ornamental work. Diamond was tireless, projecting with strength and purity from beginning to end.”
Clarke Bustard, Richmond Times-Dispatch, April 1999
“Tenor Diamond is something of a specialist in the oratorio repertoire, and he filled his performances with all manner of flourishes and filigrees - not an ‘r’ passed his lips that wasn’t rrrrrrrrrrrolled.”
James D. Watts Jr., Tulsa World, December 1998
“...tenor Brad Diamond, whose coppery, light, lyric voice was matched by a talent for phrasing and crisp use of English consonants for dramatic effect.”
Willa J. Conrad, The Star-Ledger, December 1998
“Brad Diamond, as Ramiro, proved to be a tenor with a wonderfully Italianate nasal snarl in his sound and the skill to run up and down scales and in and out of vocal registers easily.”
Charles Staff, The Indianapolis Star, March 1998
“The Count is Brad Diamond, a lyric tenor whose agility and stylistic grace are superbly suited to the romantic fellow. Diamond manages the florid writing with ease and transforms himself into a drunken sailor and prissy music master to hilarious effect.”
Donald Rosenburg, Cleveland Plain Dealer, July 1995
“Tenor Brad Diamond nailed all the notes in tune, in time, in superb tone, and sounded like he was good for a couple dozen more. It was as thrilling as Handel meant it to be.”
Clarke Bustard, Richmond Times-Dispatch, July 1994
