Carnegie Hall (Weill Hall) concert
“The marvelous American baritone Blake Davidson gave his wonderful stage presence and rich, house-filling voice to Rogers & Hammerstein’s “Soliloquy” from Carousel. He is a splendid performer who brings a great dignity and maturity that goes beyond his still relatively few years. As he grows as an artist, I will not be at all surprised to see him join the ranks of such great singers as Thomas Hampson or William Sharp.”
– Jeffrey James, Editor, INTERNATIONAL COMPOSER
