considerable acting skill…and he nearly steals the show.”
Joseph McClellan
Soloist in Mozart's Requiem w/ Washington Summer Sings
"... and Brundage sang musically polished solos, sparkling individually. As a
quartet they were superb. Brundage matched the upper voice’s angelic
tones for a mesmerizing effect during the fugue-like sections.
A powerful performance.”

Across the Nation
Soloist in Verdi's Requiem w/Hudson Valley Philharmonic
Randall Craig Fleischer - conductor
"Stirring performance that drew a capacity audience. In the 'Dies Irae,' Brundage's resonant bass in the higher range trembled with fear. The soloists also joined in poignant trio and quartet passages."
James F. Cotter, (Poughkeepsie) Times Herald Record
Soloist in Verdi's Requiem w/Midland Symphony
Carlton R. Woods - conductor
"An extraordinary performance. The four vocal soloists added more highlights to the concert. Brundage had a colorful voice that spoke beautifully in reserved tones, particularly in the haunting repetition of 'Mors...mors'. It was a stellar evening."
Grover B. Proctor Jr., The Saginaw News
Sparafucile in Rigoletto w/Lake Charles Symphony
William Kushner - conductor
"The four principal guest singers were engaging and a joy to see and hear. Brundage lent an oily dignity to the part of the assassin, like a smiling maitre d, serving up murder. His character's ironic humor achieved one of the few audible laughs in what is otherwise a rather grim story."
James Quick, The American Press
Monterone in Verdi’s Rigoletto w/ Chattanooga Symphony and Opera
“Handling…with fine voice and dramatic skills...bass David Brundage, pivotal as the brooding Count Monterone who utters the ominous curse.”
Nikki Hasden, Chattanooga Times Free Press
Commendatore in Don Giovanni w/Opera Delaware
“David Brundage…has an extraordinary bass voice.”
Caryl Huffaker, The Kennet Paper

Simone in Gianni Schicchi w/Sylvan Opera
"Standing out in the big cast were David Brundage as Simone..."
Robert Baxter, (Cherry Hill, NJ) Courier-Post
Capulet in Romeo and Juliette w/Virginia Opera
"The cast was one of the strongest and most uniform the company has presented. There are numerous roles that are vital to the success of Gounod's opera. The lowest voices were in the capable hands of Brundage as Capulet..."
Paul Sayegh, The Virginian Pilot
