“There is always something inexplicable about great singers; a fine voice is expected (in Matthew's case a warm, rich baritone with room-filling power but also a sublime upper register which can float like an angel hovering near) , but genuine artists possess something extra: an almost mystical ability to communicate, to connect with an audience; an inner radiance which may spring from the sheer joy of sharing the God-given gift they've been given.”
