"The simple-souled, loyal Barak was played by the dramatic baritone, John Lundgren. He has an appealing voice with a warm, attractive timbre. He indulged himself in some fine lyrical singing of real beauty, his voice is powerful, always secure and well-focused, yet his phrasing was so delicate and so sensitive that he managed to reflect the changing emotional state of his character perfectly, in what was simply an excellent performance."
