“To say that he is the most acclaimed countertenor of the day, perhaps the best ever, is to understate his achievement. He is simply a great singer.” —The New York Times
Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music
David Daniels is known for his superlative artistry, magnetic stage presence and a voice of singular warmth and surpassing beauty, which have helped him redefine his voice category for the modern public. The American countertenor has appeared with the world’s major opera companies and on its main concert and recital stages. He made history as the first countertenor to give a solo recital in the main auditorium of Carnegie Hall.
Gramophone magazine recently acknowledged his contribution to recorded excellence as well as his expansion of the repertoire for his voice type by naming him one of the “Top Ten Trailblazers” in classical music today. His Richmond appearance will feature works by Johannes Brahms, Reynaldo Hahn and G.F. Handel.

by: GISELE THE EXPERIENCE OF HEARING SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY VOICE IN RECITAL IN RICHMOND WAS AWE INSPIRING. DANIELS'DICTION ESPECIALLY IN FRENCH WAS IMPECCABLE AND A PLEASURE TO FOLLOW ALONG; BUT THE TWO HANDELS SHOWED SUCH MASTERY OF HIS ART! AN ENCHANTMENT THAT IS WHAT IT WAS FOR ME. ALSO HE RELATES TO HIS AUDIENCE VERY WELL.
I MUST MENTION MR.KATZ, THE ACCOMPANIST ,WHO IS WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD, WHO PLEASED US WITH HIS SUPERB SUPPORTING ROLE TAKEN TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
IT WAS AN EVENING TO REMEMBER.
THANK YOU UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND.

by: Richard Mr. Daniels' performance was spectacular, particularly the two Handel pieces. Mr. Katz also did a fine job. My one criticism is that the piano playing was at times a little too loud, to the point that it interfered with my enjoyment of Mr. Daniels' magnificent voice. Even so, it was a delightful evening, and I am most grateful to the University of Richmond for sponsoring this event.
