Reviews

“La distribution est dominée par Jean-François Borras, dont le seul récitatif d’entrée (“Amici miei… Soldati…”) signe l’autorité. Personnage multiple, homme d’état, amoureux, ami sincère, homme épris des arts, esprit brillant, Riccardo exige un chanteur qui passe également par toutes les facettes vocales: léger, lyrique, lirico spinto, une tessiture longue, le brio et la beauté de la ligne. Le ténor français possède tous les atouts du rôle: splendeur du timbre, éclat de l’aigu, perfection des “i”.”
Opera Magazine

“Jean-François Borras was also lovely to listen to as the Chevalier Des Grieux. His voice is one which seems to spin effortlessly on its own, and his capacity for both velvety, light shades of piano and pianissimo, particularly in “En fermant les yeux”, and brilliance and strength in more dramatic moments (the Act IV conclusion, for example) spoke to his considerable artistry and ability.”
Chanda VanderHart, Bachtrack

“Dans une une mise en scène moyennement convaincante, le ténor Jean-François Borras s’affirme comme un Riccardo d’exception. […] Au niveau des solistes la palme revient évidemment au chanteur français Jean-François Borras. Doté d’un ravissant ténor lyrique au délicieux vibratello qui pourrait presque rappeler Pavarotti à ses débuts, il brille tout particulièrement par la souplesse de sa ligne, l’élégance de ses phrasés et le rayonnement de ses aigus.”
ResMusica, Pierre Degott

“L’autre belle surprise de la distribution est le splendide Edgardo de Jean-François Borras, dont l’émission franche, la clarté du timbre et le brillant des aigus, alliés à un phrasé remarqueblement expressif, paraissent ideaux pour ce rôle à mi-chemin entre lyrique et dramatique. Son interprétation culmine dans une superbe scène finale.”
Alfred Ca

“As Alfredo, Jean-Francois Borras stole the show. His radiant tenor, brilliantly joyful in his drinking song, intense and impassioned in his love scenes, and forceful in his jealous rage, made him a credible and desperate lover.”
