“Brindley Sherratt as Fafner...baleful in tone and scarily duplicitous...”

Tim Ashley, The Guardian, 28 January 2018

“Singing almost entirely from memory, Brindley Sherratt imbued his Baroque-influenced parlando with telling gravitas and engaged in magisterial dialogue with the chorus in ‘Go down, Moses’. Every word was crystal-clear: as Sherratt’s deep, focused bass reverberated, phrases such as “They took a terrible vengeance” and “The words of wisdom are these” made my spine tingle.”

“The joker in the pack – no, joker is definitely the wrong word – was the addition of Brindley Sherratt’s matchless Claggart to the company. The great British bass, still currently on Baron Ochs duty for WNO, revisited the role with which he scorched Glyndebourne’s earth in its revival production and delivered a performance of staggering presence and baleful intent. Herman Melville’s master-at-arms is a creation of pure evil, more a brother than a cousin to Otello’s Iago, and Sherratt’s interpretation of it was a masterclass in malignity and power.”

Mark Valencia, Bach Track, 25 June 2017

“Brindley Sherratt is superb as the lecherous, arrogant Ochs; in an unusually nuanced reading of the role, it’s his very sense of entitlement that signals the death knell of an already outdated social hierarchy.”
