    • The emotion generated by Robin Tritschler’s performances is justified not only by the accuracy of his singing and the sense of gravitas with which he imbues his live performances, but also by the humility and sincerity that emerge as he gives free rein to the expression of the different “voices” that come to life through his beautiful vocal instrument. A real bijou that we regret knowing so little about in France.

    • Singing this was Irish tenor Robin Tritschler, and what a wonderful artist he is. He painted a seething picture of the demigod Väinämöinen wrangling with various mythological creatures from the North with huge intensity.

    • [Tritschler’s voice] is lovelier in timbre, brighter on top as well as lighter in weight—he is that rare bird nowadays, a real artist who understands words, articulates them clearly, and knows how to shape phrases in a way that is both musical and inherently dramatic...In short, he is an excellent singer and one whose work it is a distinct pleasure to listen to. This is clearly the finest vocal recital disc of the year and one of the finest of this decade.

    • A hearty welcome to this exceptionally stimulating programme, devised – and essayed with penetrating insight – by Robin Tritschler. With his mellifluous tone, flawless technical prowess and impeccable diction, the Irish tenor covers himself in glory throughout. ...you have a release that is guaranteed to provide lasting rewards.

    • This is a powerful and rewarding release. ... I still listened with plenty of pleasure, buoyed by Tritschler’s intelligence, the music, and its multiple shades of feeling...

    • Robin Tritschler, the evangelist’s singer, acts as director, for whom his light tenor in the mixture of soft sound and concise articulation is ideal.

    • Philosophical depths were struck the previous afternoon by Robin Tritschler in the later, more aphoristic Holderlin Fragments and Marcus Farnsworth in the Blake cycle – including Britten’s second, and most devastating setting of “A Poison Tree”.

    • "La partie de ténor est assurée par Robin Tritschler, un spécialiste du genre. Plusieurs fois engagé pour chanter le récitant dans les deux Passions de Jean-Sébastien Bach, il est tout à fait à sa place dans cette “Cantate” Romantique. Sa voix claire et puissante permet au texte de résonner dans toute la salle, particulièrement lorsqu’il conclut sa deuxième intervention en lançant un déchirant “Quand la nuit va-t-elle s’achever ?” : un moment poignant." The tenor part is provided by Robin Tritschler, a specialist in the genre. Several times engaged to sing the narrator in the two Passions of Johann Sebastian Bach, he is completely in his place in this Romantic “Cantata”. His clear and powerful voice allows the text to resonate throughout the room, especially when he concludes his second intervention by launching a heartbreaking “When is the night going to end?” : a poignant moment.

  • Apartment House: Wigmore Hall Recital

    Wigmore Hall, London

    • Tritschler is a natural born storyteller who combines an eloquent physicality with an ability to take an entire audience into his confidence. The voice is strong, almost baritonal in its lowest reaches, moving up through a plangent middle and upper register to a ringing top. Tritschler’s was a performance full of insights. Equally effective was the singer’s astute characterization of another train journey... Subtle facial expressions that conveyed a child’s dawning realization of humanity’s threat to animals at the end of “Wagtail and baby” made sense of one of the cycle’s more oblique poems. Britten’s music possesses a spare expressiveness and Tritschler gave it the most memorable and affecting of performances. Tritschler gave a heroic account of the taxing vocal part...

    • A singer’s enchanting Greek odyssey ... the sweetness of Tritschler’s tone was revealed in Der zürnenden Diana, his dramatic flair in Atys. And while one might have wished for greater spontaneity, there was no faulting Tritschler’s crisp enunciation and Ware’s eloquent accompaniment. The finest discoveries came in the second half and coincided with Tritschler finding fresh ease and flexibility that lifted the performance to its best. Tritschler and Ware tapped into their turbulence, atmosphere and drama.
