Matthew was a pleasure to work with. His singing was brilliant, and his correspondence was very professional and punctual. I would be delighted to work with Matthew again in the future.

But the dazzling find was Matthew Palmer’s lean and hungry Marullo: a truly arresting voice, rich-toned, and with an extra deep range.
