"He didn't have the enjoyable finesse of certain other masters of phrasing, but a noble sensuality that gave the Italian-French repertoire a "fashioned elegance". He originated from the Scandinavian tradition, which - a generation later - Nicolai Gedda would continue with refinement and "monstrous versatility". This expression of vocal civilism which Naxos is documenting with their gallery of outstanding legendary singers, has now reached the third volume."
-- Gianni Gori, Musica February 2004
