“But the male cast is not to be outdone, from the brilliant Argentinian tenor Pablo Bemsch as Riccardo, to Renato by the Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk, dark timbre, ample phrasing, completely in the spirit of Verdian singing”
“The famous Eugene Onegin is sung by baritone Yuriy Yurchuk, who held this role for his debut at the National Opera of Ukraine in 2018. Here he elegantly interprets the indecisive seducer. Although he is a smug and condescending character, his doubts and remorse quickly resurface through a versatile singing ability.”
“The Ukrainian Yuriy Yurchuk draws very well that incomprehensible and contradictory Onegin, in a certain way a precursor of Russian philosophical nihilism and whose life has neither direction nor moral sense. His voice is pleasant and well projected.”
