"The remarkable baritone Sean Michael Plumb displayed an instrument notable for its evenness of tone and overwhelming beauty. He shaded his genuinely lyric sound with darker, more desperate colors as the narrator grew ever more disillusioned by the caprices of fate."
Bachtrack, Carmina Burana, Philadelphia Orchestra
"No less impressive was the baritone Sean Michael Plumb, who sang Frank and Pierrot Friz with equally fantastic Italian vocal technique and a sonorous, bright timbre, wonderfully in line and incredibly expressive. His very fervently performed song Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen was the highlight of the evening! "
