"...die Gesangs-Solisten teils sehr anspruchsvolle Koloraturen souverän, mit mehr oder weniger natürlichen Talenten für die eigenwillige Ausdrucksform des barocken Singens.... Bass-Bariton David Howes (Kondor) besonderen Applaus".

("...the vocal soloists master some very demanding coloratura
with aplomb, with more or less natural talent for the idiosyncratic expressive form of baroque singing.... bass-baritone David Howes (Kondor) receives special applause").

Armin Kaumanns, Aachener Zeitung. Review of Theater Aachen's The Indian Queens. October 2024

"...vor allem begeistert der Bass- Bariton David Howes in der Rolle des Kondors. Getragen werden sie vom Sinfonieor- chester Aachen, das Jori Klomp glänzend auf die Spezi- fitäten der Barockmusik vor- bereitet hat."

("...and the bass-baritone David Howes is particularly inspiring in the role of the Condor. They are supported by the Aachen Symphony Orchestra, which Jori Klomp has brilliantly prepared for the specialities of baroque music.")

"Zu den stärkeren Momenten des Abends gehört ein Trio (großartig: David Howes,...)...." ("One of the stronger moments of the evening is a trio (great: David Howes....)).

​Stefan Schöme, Online Music Magazine​​

"The rich, warm bass-baritone of David Howes hits the right dramatic and musical note as the noble and dignified Don Fernando who restores freedom, crushing Pizarro’s evil regime."

​Paddy Mcgovern, No More Workhouse

​

"David Howes was a suitably opportunist Don Fernando as he arrives at the end to liberate the prisoners. His voice had an unctuous quality to it as he received the praise of all."

​Andrew Larkin, Backtrack

​

"...there is a whole gallery of first-class performances in the smaller roles, especially by...David Howes as the Priest and the grumpy old Badger..."

​Stephen Walsh, The Arts Desk

​

"The other roles come and go in quick succession, and are sung charismatically – among them, David Howes’s authoritative Priest..."

​Curtis Rodgers, Classical Source

​

"There are fine performances, too, from... David Howes (Priest/Badger)..."
