Vanessa wrote quote "I spent saturday night at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon Transfixed by the UK'S youngest Operatic Baritone, Matthew Crane is nothing short of a phenomenon,in height and stature he's an average teenager,his speaking voice soft and fairly high pitched his manner pleasantly shy but when he opens his mouth a voice with stirring power and emotional resonance of Placido Domingo soars forth,so startlingly forceful and moving are this little boys arias the audience does a double take,can this little chap really be capable of producing such a sound,the answer is yes,I was there, if you have not heard matthew seek him out the only crime is no recording company has signed this engaging and outstanding talent"
