Orlando
by Handel
“He impressed greatly with his virtuosity as well as his glistening tone color
in the higher register... his performance's high point was the mad scene at
the end of the second act, after which the audience rightfully thanked him at
great length with vigorous applause.”

Oberon.”

“It’s their voices, though, that complete the otherworldly effect. Redding’s
soprano and Scotting’s countertenor are crystal clear and well matched for
their quarrelsome opening duet. Where other singers might sound shrill, they
power through with rich tone, and his range climbs nearly as high as hers.”

“Oberon, a
countertenor, here Randall Scotting, an impressive guest artist... sings in
grandiloquent lines that recall English Baroque opera, but with wayward
chromatic turns and spiky modern harmonies.”

Ercole sul
Termodonte
by Vivaldi
“But the
high point of the opera was the North American countertenor Randall Scotting
who interprets the part of Teseo...Randall not only shows talent with his clear voice, pleasant
and portraying virility (rare are the singers that face with bravery the melismas of Vivaldi’s music), but he also exhibits a sensual sculptured body
and a truly handsome face.”
TEMPORAL DE IDÉIAS
“already
well known across the ocean, is the American Randall Scotting, the ideal
physique to give life to the loving chivalry of Theseus, and his beautiful
voice was evidenced in the aria “Scorre il fiume moromorando” … We will hear
great things about him in the future.”

“the most
beautiful singing came from Randall Scotting - an absolutely gorgeous vocal
performance. A virile, handsome, beefy looker of a countertenor… when alone
onstage, he projects a most assured masculinity and his two big arias are
absolutely swoon inducingly gorgeous… rich and smooth, yet moving through
Vivaldi's virtuosic writing with ease.”
