"The American bass-baritone, André Courville, produced an excellent performance in the role of the High Priest of the Mexicans... He dominated the scene set in the temple. His voice is powerful and authoritative. Recitatives were carefully molded and sung with an uncompromising edge. However, what also impressed was the beauty of voice; it has a full-bodied, rounded sound underpinned by an inviting warmth which is able to draw the listener towards him."
