"Das Rheingold" In the role of Wotan was the bass Alexei Tanovitsky, who evinced great dignity and vocal control: That is the kind of Wotan we want, always. In Mr. Tanovitsky's arsenal is a strong, almost tenorial top. - By Jay Nordlinger, The New York Sun.
"Das Rheingold" - In the role of Wotan was the bass Alexei Tanovitsky, who evinced great dignity and vocal control: That is the kind of Wotan we want, always. In Mr. Tanovitsky's arsenal is a strong, almost tenorial top. (Metropolitan Opera House, New York • By Jay Nordlinger, July 16, 2007 "The New York Sun")
"Die Walküre" - Alexei Tanovitsky, as Wotan, had another good night, possibly even better than the previous one. He sang with both godly regality and fatherly pity (to go with the aforementioned rage). (Metropolitan Opera House, New York • By Jay Nordlinger, July 16, 2007 "The New York Sun")
"Die Walküre" With his gravelly voice and earthy delivery, the tall and calmly charismatic bass Alexei Tanovitsky sounded as if he had stepped out of a performance as Boris Godunov into the role of Wotan.

La qualité première de cette production du Mariinsky devient évidente au deuxième acte : un travail de fond sur le texte doublé d’une lecture en profondeur mais sans chichi de la partition. Jamais je n’avais vu/entendu le dilemme de Wotan aussi bien exprimé. (Metropolitan Opera House, New York • 14.7.07 "Paris-Broadway")
