Albert Herring / Theater Lübeck

“Frederick Jones chosen for the demanding role title role, wonderfully showing the development from the frightened milk boy to the crosser of lines, both playfully and with his clear tenor, totally at ease in the high register. His facial expressions allow a deep look into the soul of this insecure boy, who eventually has had enough of the controlled confinement.”
Klassik-begeistert

Bachtrack

“Laurie, is given real pathos by Frederick Jones, torn by the rejection of the childhood friend whom he once loved as a playmate and rare intellectual equal and now intends to love as a woman.”
Broadway World

“Frederick Jones seemed born to sing Rakewell, so far did his fine singing and acting make it difficult to recall a more persuasive interpretation.” Bachtrack

“Frederick Jones, the most technically secure Tom I’ve ever heard…”
The Arts Desk

“In a role he has already sung for British Youth Opera, tenor Frederick Jones is unimpeachable as Tom Rakewell…”
Classical Source

“Frederick Jones’s relaxed, warm tenor, which has lyricism and strength at the top, gives Tom a lovely confidence and optimism – as in the opening scene when he guilelessly believes his dreams will come true, and later, when Shadow’s bread-making machine seems to offer him an opportunity to right wrongs and do good.  This rake reflects little and acts fasts, with impetuous hopefulness.  Both Tom’s weary resignation in the face of Baba’s hysterical porcelain smashing – he offers up the final plate with a stoic shrug – and his agonising regret in the graveyard scene are convincing and conjure our sympathy.”
Opera Today

“Frederick Jones’ robust and agile tenor is splendidly fitted for the angular vocal lines and foolish actions of the ‘shuttle-headed’ Tom Rakewell…”
