BBC Music Magazine

January 2008

****

“…Kennedy… proves himself a rising start with performances keenly sung if occasionally rather mannered, supported by Simon Crawford Philips and the Dante players.”

The Guardian

“Venables' songs are sharply responsive to the weight and meaning of every word, and his style ... around Kennedy's voice like a glove ... The tenor handles the texts superbly, making every word perfectly clear”

The Independent on Sunday

“Kennedy has a big, bright, expressive tenor voice and uses it with fervour, delicacy and imagination ... A thoughtfully realised recital”

The Times

“Kennedy's young tenor sounds utterly at ease in this CD of Housman settings by VW, Ivor Gurney and Ian Venables … his musicianship is appealing, and the Dante Quartet accompany with gusto”
