Reviews

FonoForum 07/04: "Bo Skovhus hat als Billy das Ideal blonder Bariton-Jungenhaftigkeit bewahrt. Sie ist vor allem ein Vehikel für Neil Shicoff, der sich mit schneidendem Tenortonfall in die verquälten Seelenregungen des wohl heimlich in Billy verliebten Vere gräbt und ein weiteres seiner einprägsamen Charakterportaits abliefert."
