Gramophone

'Among the remarkable recent generation of virtuoso tenors, Matteuzzi has been widely admired, not least for the good taste and the stylistic refinement of his singing. This is evident from the first in the trio from Le comte Ory where phrases have a grace of tone and movement that momentarily call to mind the name of Tito Schipa.

Il viaggio a Reims finds him achieving an agility over a wide vocal range... in passages of pure unforced lyricism he is most gratefully heard and the sighing semi-diseur style of Offenbach's ariette is enchanting.'
