    • St Matthew Passion
      Dunedin Consort

      In his story-teller, he [Butt] has found an Evangelist with the candid vulnerability of Helmut Krebs. Yes Nicholas Mulroy brings his own striking naturalness of delivery, clarity of diction and honesty... The coloration explores, in microcosm, the Evangelist's own heartfelt identification with the drama into which he seems unwittingly drawn, and which heightens, almost unbearably, as the work unfolds
      Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, Gramophone
      … his eight remarkable singers match spine-tingling tone with astonishing maturity. Nicholas Mulroy as Evangelist has a powerful dramatic sense, sometimes floating free of Bach's note values – he is mercilessly harsh when Jesus is spat upon – elsewhere meticulous: Peter’s denial would move the hardest heart... all confirmation of this as my new benchmark
      BBC Music Magazine
      Led by Nicholas Mulroy's intensely dramatic yet compassionate Evangelist... In sum, a St Matthew of disarming emotional and dramatic immediacy
      Richard Wigmore, The Daily Telegraph

    • Acis and Galatea
      Dunedin Consort

      All the soloists sing the chorus parts. The result is a wonderfully intimate reading, which bounces along with the spring and precision of a chamber performance. There is some world-class singing here: <...> Nicholas Mulroy makes an affecting Acis
      Stephen Pritchard, The Guardian
      Susan Hamilton and Nicholas Mulroy successfully painted the bliss of the titular lovers in the first act through their succession of sweetly idyllic airs
      Rowena Smith, The Guardian
      The Act One love duet (Happy We) was cloudlessly voiced, and Mulroy was mellifluous in his aria Love In Her Eyes Sits Playing.
      Conrad Wilson, Glasgow Herald
      Nicholas Mulroy's Acis is resonant and suave, combining muscularity and elegance.
      David Vickers, Gramophone
