"WOTAN AND OTHER FATHERS....
"At the center of interest is the internationally active American, Robert Demers,....
Demers shimmered... with powerful dramatic artistry as he made the fate of Wotan, among others, musically transparent. ....
Robert Demers noble ... voice impressed not only with Wotan, but also in the father figures of ...,
Banco, ..., ..., Philip II, and as encore, Dalands aria from "FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER".
Pride, passion, suspense, anguish, hunger for power, affection or simple-mindedness conveyed Demers ...,
extremely flexible and (with designated, but not overdone singer mimic) emphatically portrayed.
The middle voice above all is brilliant, also the powerful upper voice has truly "heroic" intensity".">
