“Strongly recommended.” - Gramophone
“With his winning personality, assured technique and a vibrant, warm instrument, Drew Minter may yet be the first superstar countertenor.” - Pulse!
“Fans of early music are likely to know Minter's unusually pure and flexible voice, and his delivery that is both virtuosic in its ornamentation and somehow stately.” - Fanfare
