Mastersingers at 25

‘For us there was one performance which stood out above all the rest and this was James [Schouten] as Loge … James combined wonderful delivery of the text, great German, clarity of text, thought behind the text … character excellent. The thing about Wagnerian singing is combining everything isn’t it? Character, voice, text, acting and drama; and James came by far the nearest to that ideal.’ - Sir John Tomlinson - Carole Rees Awards 2024 - Mastersingers Wagner Vocal Competition
