Valdis Jansons
Valdis Jansons in few words
"…Beautiful voice, great vocal line, stylistically focused already since the beginning of a "role-monster" for basses and baritones, considerable interpretation intentions in his varied and nuanced phrasing, as well as in the word articulation of a perfect and well marked Italian. All this added to his tallness and elegant gait, envisages him as an element that, after having successfully metabolized and having run in the role, will give a hard time to many 'prominent rivals.'… "
Andrea Merli (Don Giovanni at National Opera of Macedonia, taken from the monthly magazine "L'Opera")
"The brightest ornament of the group was baritone Valdis Jansons, whose Henry was both elegant and memorable. Precisely this artist was the highlight of the performance and turned out to be the best amongst all others who came to Moscow this time around."
Piotr Pospelov (Lucia di Lammermoor at Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow - Newspaper "Vedomosti" )
