“Riccardo Simonetti's Janos and Clare McCaldin's Orsze were the stars“
     David Cairns reviewing Hary Janos in Opera magazine

“From the first moment, Clare McCaldin lived within, and drew us into, the atmosphere, the emotion and the meaning of each song. She was in command of a natural, ringing voice of great range of pitch, tone and dynamics, always at the service of the music. Gesture and expression of a natural actor were integral to the interpretation.“
     Howard Layfield reviewing Hexham Abbey Festival recital

“Clare McCaldin stands out in the dramatic colour offered by her scene”
      The Stage, reviewing The Gentle Giant
