International Critical Acclaim of Joel Frederiksen´s CD „Orpheus, I am“
Bayern 4, Klassik Radio
The American with Danish ancestry, who is successful as a singer on the opera stage as well as in the concert hall, has at his disposal a marvelous bass voice with rich, gentle depth, considerable volume, and then also great movement. He accompanies his pleasant singing, which radiates calm, subtly and skillfully himself, much as in his time, Orpheus, but not on a Lyre, instead on an 8-course Renaissance lute. Orpheus, I am is the programmatic title of a lute song by Robert Johnson that Joel Frederiksen sonorously embodies and confidently chose for the title of his enjoyable album.

Fanfare
Joel Frederiksen must be one of the few contemporary singers able to accompany himself on the lute, as surely Renaissance musicians did. In his pleasingly resonant voice, and with his considerable taste, Frederiksen sings songs from three nations.

American Record Guide
The lute and viol playing is certainly top notch on this recording of English, French, and Italian music of the 17th century. But the real attraction on this recording is the singing. Joel Frederiksen has a lovely bass voice.

Early Music America
Frederiksen's vocal nuances are splendid. Orpheus, I am is well worth the hour of listening it provides.Frederiksen, with his powerful bass voice, makes a worthy Orpheus.
