"Edward Grint makes a fearful, powerful impression as the raging, jealous Polyphemus"
Classical Source
"Bass-baritone Edward Grint packed a deadly punch as Polyphemus, performing a wonderful “O ruddier than the cherry” and very convincing as the jealous drunkard; his voice had that satisfying round, deep quality that you want to hear in a bass"
Bach Track
"Edward Grint was an equally delightful Elviro, taking the character quite seriously, except for the obvious buffo moments (an entirely legitimate approach) rather than giving us a complete buffo performance… Grint had a nice feel for Handel’s music and a lovely way with it."
Planet Hugill
"Bass-baritone Edward Grint's opening recitative was finely trenchant, whilst 'For behold' had a lovely veiled intimacy."
