"Baritone Mark Stone has it all: a terrific technique, theatrical presence and a voice guaranteed to tingle bits of your spine never tingled before." Classic FM magazine "This is not a recital restricted to one vocal hue. Each song is looked at and receives relevant response from both singer and pianist... He introduces so much by way of nuance and colour to make this a very interesting and fulfilling programme, one which is well recorded." International Record Review |
