Main-Echo
« Diesen Funken lassen überzeugend Randal Turner als Billy und Susanne Serfling als Julie überspringen. Zwei wunderbare Stimmen, die glaubhaft sowohl die zarte Wonne der Zuneigung, als auch das Gefühlschaos, in das beide stürzen, vermitteln. »
“The sparks fly between Randal Turner as Billy and Susanne Serfling as Julie. Two wonderful singers who convey the tender delight of their mutual affection just as convincingly as their plunge into emotional chaos.”

A Streetcar Named Desire André Previn – Teatro Regio di Torino 
L‘opera, Alessandro Mormile
« Notevole la prova dell‘americano Randal Turner, che ha voce baritonale perfetta per la parte e atletica prestanza scenica, forse fin troppo rude, ma appropriata per esternare l‘attraente sensualità di un fascino mermamente fisico, tutto muscoli e atteggiomenti violenti da bullo palestrato da bassifondi metropolitani »
“The performance by American baritone Randal Turner was particularly noteworthy. His voice is perfect for the part and his athletic stage presence, though almost a tad too coarse, is nonetheless apt to express the captivating sensuality of his character’s sheer physical attraction, all muscles with the fierce demeanor of a raging bull from the slums.”

Apollo e Dafne Georg Freiderich Handel – musica rara
La Provincia di Sondrio Carlo Mola
e quella d‘Apollo basso « Come rosa in su la spina... » Dove viene restutuita la vocalità premozartiana tanto ricca di inventiva e di gusto. E poi entrambi ancora assai bravi e ricchi di espressione nei recitativi. Infine Randal Turner magnifico nell‘aria « Cara pianta co‘ miei pianti... » dove, dopo il canto forte e incisivo, succede un momento di estrema morbidezza che si piega ai doveri dell‘interpretazione con una facilità disarmante e commovente. »
“… and Apollo’s ‘Come una rosa in su la spina’…, reinstating the pre-Mozartian vocal artistry so rich in inventiveness and good taste. And so excellent and expressive in the recitatives. Finally, Randal Turner was magnificent in the aria ‘Cara pianta co’ miei pianti…’, calling for strong and incisive singing followed by a moment ever so soft, which he performed with disarming ease and poignancy.
Centro Valle Settimanale sabato, Matteo Luigi Piricò
« Il bass-bariton Randal Turner ha reso una teatrale e vivacissima interpretazione di Apollo, ruolo scritto per un grande virtuoso e che esige salti di tessitura pericolosi: una technica vocale eccellente lo ha spinto ad osare mezzovoci e colorature degne di un grande interprete. »
“Bass-baritone Randal Turner gave a theatrical and most vivacious performance as Apollo, a role written for great virtuosos and calling for dangerous leaps in register: his excellent vocal technique allowed him to brave mezzovoce and coloratura passages worthy of a great artist,”
