"Nicholas Crawley fashioned finely-honed marriages of words, music, and gesture, very much with eyes, and ears, for what Haydn’s prodigal inventiveness requested."
Seen and Heard
"I particularly liked the young bass Nicholas Crawley's Don Basilio. With his seductive dark sound and agile stage presence, he made a show of the famous calumny aria."
Bachtrack
"...wonderful new voice in Nicholas Crawley's sonorous nightwatchmen."
Sunday Times
"Crawley's Leporello was engaging and insinuating throughout, including a waspish Catalogue Aria and a very funny impersonation of Giovanni in Act 2."
