"...Vsevolod Grivnov is a fabulous Vakula, convincing you that he has the soul of a poet in the body of a nerd." Tim Ashley The Guardian
 "...One of the most beautiful and thrilling tenor voices in the world today, his top notes have the golden gleam of a Wunderlich and his voice sounds as solid as Gedda’s. With a robust technique and model enunciation of the text, his musical instincts and projection are infallible, and he plays the romantic juvenile lead completely naturally..." The Irish Times
