    • La basse russe Alexander Vinogradov laisse pantois par ses imposants moyens, apportant à son personnage de Marcel non seulement les ressources d’une basse profonde, mais aussi une juste vocalità, …une typologie vocale dont il est l’un des rares (dignes) représentants aujourd’hui. [Translated] The Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov leaves you flabbergasted with his imposing material, bringing to his character of Marcel not only the resources of a deep bass, but also a right vocalità,…a vocal typology of which he is one of the rare (worthy) representatives today.

    • Alexander Vinogradov en Marcel s’inscrit dans la tradition des grandes basses chantantes, attachante, réconfortante dans le timbre, assumant les trilles dans le grave (Grand Trio du dernier acte) et la noblesse de ton dans le Choral. [Translated] Alexander Vinogradov as Marcel joins the ranks of great lyric basses, touching, comforting in his timbre, delivering trills in low register (Grand Trio of the last act) and nobility in the whole Choral.

    • La révélation de la soirée est le Marcel d’Alexander Vinogradov, huguenot austère et inflexible [Translated] The discovery of the evening is Marcel of Alexander Vinogradov, austere and inflexible.
