"His voice has an edge that most tenors sand away. In contemporary opera, that edge is everything."

Night Cartography
Works by Brennan Holt, Clara Andermatt, and Gwyn Parry Gethin Rees, tenor – Ensemble Contrechamps
Silo Classics
"A programme that reads like a manifesto and sounds like a conversation. Rees has assembled three composers who share nothing obvious except his trust, and that turns out to be enough."
The Score
Gravel & Light
Mira Vondrak: Gravel & Light (song cycle) Gethin Rees, tenor – David Szabo, piano
CIS Records
"Twelve songs that feel like one long thought. Rees and Szabo have the kind of musical understanding that makes the seams invisible – you stop hearing two performers and start hearing a single argument."
The Listener
The Severing
Mira Vondrak: The Severing (complete opera) Gethin Rees, tenor – Lena Dahl, conductor – Bavarian State Opera Orchestra
May Records
"Vondrak's full-length opera found its ideal document here. Rees carries two hours of unresolved tension without once reaching for easy release – it is a performance of rare discipline."
Neue Musikpresse
Fold Lines
Gethin Rees, tenor – Lena Dahl, conductor – Ensemble Resonanz
May Records
"A debut recording that announced not just a voice but a sensibility – Rees shapes Vondrak's lines with the kind of structural intelligence that takes most singers a decade to develop."
