"...tenor Brian Frutiger brought passion to forces advocating abolition of slavery."
– OPERA TODAY
"Baritone Kenneth Overton, tenor Brian Frutiger, and tenor Jaeho Lee sang the three commedia ministers, Ping, Pang, and Pong, giving their scene of reminiscences ("Ho foreste, presso Tsiang") a poignant and detailed reading. This is surely Puccini at his melancholic best."
– SAN FRANCISCO CLASSICAL VOICE
