BBC Music Magazine
'Bruce Ford is a serious Rossinian. His warm, robust tenor is equipped with a secure, ringing top as well as virile low notes, and he sings with generosity, clarity and finesse.'

The Sunday Times
Bruce Ford 'has cornered the market in this repertoire... as an introduction to the composer's serious operas... this is an appealing issue... Ford dazzles...'
