Reviews

  • Les Arts Florissants / William Christie / Philharmonie de Paris
    Baritone Ben Kazez shone – the revelation of the evening. What a singer! He was also absolutely first-rate in the virtuoso aria ‘A facie Domini.’

  • Academy of Ancient Music / Laurence Cummings
    Authoritatively weighty as Jesus.… When joined with Pritchard, …Ben Kazez delivered their busy duetting with perfect clarity.

  • Handel Messiah / Cincinnati
    Ben Kazez was a forceful presence in 'Why do the nations so furiously rage,' as he navigated its treacherous vocal passages against furious tremolos in the strings.
