“Before all is Sopranist Robert Crowe, who unflappably masters Caesar’s break-neck coloratura.” Fono Forum for the CD recording of Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“Only Cupid—given flight with truly unearthly fury by countertenor Robert Crowe—remains from the Olympians.” Berliner Morgenpost for Orpheus in der Unterwelt
“The filigreed voice of the countertenor was one of the few happy surprises…” Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung for Orpheus in der Unterwelt
"The entire ensemble--clarino, Baroque violins and viola and positiv organ--and special guest Robert Crowe, male soprano, joined at the end, delighting the audience with Handel's aria from Samson, 'Let the Bright Seraphim", during which Crowe's incredible voice and the clear, silvery sound of the trumpet traded displays of virtuosity."
American Recorder Magazine for Boston Early Music Fringe Festival
“Robert Crowe paints with his sharply accurate soprano even the smallest note values precisely.” Opern Welt for the CD recording of Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“Robert Crowe as the playboy Ceasar is the tenderest, at times most exalted soprano.” Bild München for Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“Robert Crowe, the brilliant countersoprano(sic) assembles coloratura garlands and has the smart look of the playboy!” Tages Zeitung (München) for Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“Robert Crowe as the enemy and opponent Ceasar; a sopranist—enormously expressive and no less secure in the coloratura.” Das Opernglass for Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“Then countertenor Robert Crowe, in his great ‘storm’ aria with dizzyingly high coloratura, fills the the air of the rococo jewel (the Cuivillier Theater in Munich) with clamorous uproar.” Münchener Merkur for Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“Ceasar (Robert Crowe) looks a bit like David Beckham, only without the ponytail. But something else separates him: when singing, he chirrups with the highest soprano tones, at first engendering consternation which, however, dissolves into sheer admiration.” Abendzeitung (München) for Ferrandini’s Catone in Utica
“…a brilliantly accomplished sopranist like Robert Crowe (Anastasio) is exceptional…” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for Giustino
“Robert Crowe plays the male soprano role of the incompetent, jealous emperor absolutely hilariously. While the recitatives come out as a run-together stutter, in his arias he rolls out his soprano with shining high notes. He delivers a brilliant voice-box firework show in his great rage and jealousy aria.” Badische Neueste Nachtrichten for Giustino
“Crowe paints a polished portrait of the insecure Anastasio. This is a soprano role, and Crowe is one of the rare countertenors who can navigate this high range. He achieves the balancing act of the vocal chords with bravura, and if knife-edge, rapid-fire high notes could kill, then Anastasio need fear no more (his wife) Arianna and for his throne.” Badisches Tagblatt for Giustino
“The soprano of Robert Crowe (Rodrigo) is astoundingly wide-ranging and dramatic. He plays his absolute disgust for his wife so lustily, that only the wonderful optical and vocal presence of Janet Williams can set a polar opposite of Goodness, Wisdom and Love." Das Opernglass for Rodrigo
