| "Not that this production will be historical in the baroque, powdered-wig sort of way, but this is the most traditional staging of 'Cesare' I've done in a long time -- so in a sense it will be something new for me," Daniels observes as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle of June 13, 2002, about upcoming performances in San Francisco. "It's exciting to be wearing a wig, sword and armor in this role." San Francisco Chronicle review |
| "While the Fanatic was taken aback by the almost Beatle-mania like adoration that David Daniels elicits in his fans, the Fanatic recognizes that David Daniels belongs in the top tier of Singer/Artists today."--from review by NYC Opera Fanatic of November 23, 2002, Carnegie Hall recital.

| "Daniels's voice has ripened in the past couple of years -- it's now dark but not plummy, sounding at times quite startlingly like the mezzo-soprano of Janet Baker in her prime -- and he uses it not to show off his flashy technique, but to express feelings of the utmost intensity," wrote Terry Teachout of the Washington Post about the Carnegie Hall recital. |
