“This year the name on everyone’s lips was that of Leicestershire-born baritone James Newby, 25, already the recipient of many prizes, making an outstanding debut as the Count in Figaro. He has a golden tone and he can act.” The Guardian

“Middleton is outstanding, his reputation as a rising star among accompanists richly deserved.” Gramophone Magazine
