Stephen Chaundy

"Der Tenor Stephen Chaundy karikiert seinen Antagonisten Robespierre nicht, gibt ihm aber einen umso erschreckenderen Fanatismus in Stimme und Blick."

The tenor Stephen Chaundy does not caricature his (Danton’s) antagonist Robespierre, but gives him a fanaticism both vocally and in his gaze which is all the more frightening.

“Auch mit Stephen Chaundy hat man den richtigen Interpreten für die Hauptrolle gefunden, der den Candide als durchaus ernsten und doch den Freuden des Lebens nicht abgeneigten Weltenbummler charakterisierte und auch gesanglich viel Leidenschaft und tenoralen Schmelz versprühte.”
