"The most beautiful voice to be heard was that of Kevin McMillan, a young Canadian baritone... He gave an account of "Amphiaraos," a heroic song, that was at once lyrical and noble. We must hear more of him."
- The New Yorker

"Baritone Kevin McMillan sang with superb swagger, mock seriousness, idealism and love-sick anguish in a voice that was rich and precise..."
- Washington Post

Schwanengesang

The reviewers say:
The Globe & Mail:
"Kevin McMillan's first recording from his Schubert repertoire is a beautifully considered achievement. Each song feels freshly studied and expressed with that mysterious alchemy of meticulousness and spontaneity Russian pianist Lev Natochenny, proves [to be] an insistent and most imaginative collaborator."
- Urjo Kareda Mostly Music, CBC Radio:

"McMillan's singing is vigorous and eloquent."
- Ken Winters

Kitchener-Waterloo Record:
"It's almost redundant now to call Kevin McMillan one of this country's hottest young baritones. The vocally gifted Listowel native is finally achieving an international profile worthy of his abilities and nowhere are they more evident than in his mastery of the art song form This all-Schubert album displays his passion for wedding words to melody in the most compelling, yet naturally emotive manner McMillan's effortless clarity and resonance are supported throughout by flowing, beautifully punctuated keyboard lines, proving that intense emotion is best served by equally intense precision."
- Pauline Finch-Durichen

Kevin McMillan, Baritone

The reviewers say:
Winnipeg Free Press:
"McMillan sings very sensitively, shading both words and music with impressive depth. His is a beautiful voice, aided in its effectiveness by excellent diction... In the Mystical Songs, McMillan shows he can produce power and fervor in addition to sensitivity. This is deeply moving music, here brought lovingly to life."
- Don Anderson

American Record Guide:
"This record should be welcomed as much for making available some rarely recorded repertoire as for introducing what sounds like a brilliant new talent...The folksongs are all delicious. Highly recommended..."
