“Conrad’s career has taken him a long way from his days as a tenor léger (for instance in the Sutherland/Bonynge ‘The Age of Bel Canto’ in 1963), and he seems to hold the drama together. He is especially touching in the arioso ‘For every love there is a last farewell.’”
--The Gramaphone

“Baritone Richard Conrad (who was an exquisite, very light bel canto tenor in the’60s and recorded with Joan Sutherland) gets everythng right as the Doctor...he’s completely involved with this disfunctional family.”
--Classics Today.com

“Richard Conrad is extremely successful here. His voice has a slightly gritty tone which is not unpleasant and which argueably is highly appropriate for this role. His tipsy solo ‘I should never have been a doctor’ in Act II is very well done. Even better is his Act III aria ‘For every love there is a last farewell’ where he finds just the right degree of touching melancholy.”
