The Voice
"A very attractive young male soprano, Cenk Karaferya, trilled his way prettily through selections from Handel's operas... intimate setting of a Georgian panelled drawing room... it was miles better than an hour of yoga or massage" Janet Street-Porter in her The Independent on Sunday column... "Another surprise was the beautiful voice of countertenor Cenk Karaferya, whose discovery for heroic roles seems to be just a question of time" Erwin Hosi in classicalsource.com... "A very individual sound, and a very strong musical idea" Linda Hirst...
