Bass-baritone Jakob Bloch Jespersen

"The bass Jakob Bloch Jespersen is finely cast as Jesus, his voice and range sonorous and his pacing thoughtful and restrained"

George Pratt - The BBC Music Magazine
"Jakob Bloch Jespersen's insinuating bass-baritone enlivens the proseedings with his cameo as Herodes"

Joanne Sydney Lessner - Opera News
"Bass Jakob Bloch Jespersen was superior and precise. With vocal power, musical expression and physical surplus he let his solo arias roll."

Christine Christiansen - Jyllandsposten

"Operasangeren Jakob Bloch Jespersen har en vin med, som udløser kaskader af erindringer og associationer, der tager os med helt op til Camilla Plum og en slagtet pony på stranden i Tisvilde. Ikke så sært, mener den 35-årige basbaryton, for vinen kan lede mennesker ud i alle livets afkroge."

Schierbeck's Fête Galante

Dalliance, deceit and dastardly blackmail are all in the air at the rococo palace of Versailles, where the Danish composer Poul Schierbeck's only opera Fete galante from 1931 unfolds its coulorful plot. Schierbeck's opera maintains an exquisite musical balance between the lyrical and the comic, and this recording brings new life to Schierbeck's tuneful music with a strong Nordic singers' cast in front of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Schønwandt.
