“He sang beautifully, with an attractive golden mezzo quality to his voice that served him well during the playful S’andra senza pastore, as he serenades Marzia early on in the opera.”

“The second counter tenor role, that of Arbace, Prince of Numidia, is taken by one of the festival’s Young Artists, Eric Jurenas, whose lighter, airier voice contrasts well with Mr. Holiday’s. His jaunty introductory aria is a delight.”

“Bach’s Cantata No. 170, Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, featured the fine young countertenor Eric Jurenas and a chamber ensemble of strings, oboe, continuo and solo organ. The text is drawn from the Sermon on the Mount in which Jesus exhorts his followers to love one another. Jurenas has a bright, light voice, and he easily negotiated the wide tessitura of the solo part.”

“One unexpected touch was the selection of a counter-tenor soloist for the part that is usually taken by a mezzo-soprano or alto. Up-and-coming counter-tenor Eric Jurenas took on this task with surprising success. After a bit of adjustment, one became quickly accustomed to the sound of the high male voice in this part, thanks to Jurenas’s exceptionally clear tone and vocal flexibility, especially in the highest reaches of his range.”

“The remarkable countertenor Eric Jurenas, who recently astounded in an Axiom Ensemble Ligeti program, gave a breathtaking delivery to the setting of Farsi odes of love, especially in the fourth of the five songs, the “syllabic” Imaginary Folk Song in which he sang fast, repeating phonemes against enormous orchestral swells.”
