"The devil may not always get the best tunes via Gounod’s pen, but René Pape dominated proceedings from the off. His gentleman-devil was the suave, affable kind, seeming to have enormous fun with the role. Pape’s Méphistophélès is very close to Bryn Terfel’s in phrasing and tone, although he possesses a blacker bass to plumb the depths vocally to effortless effect" Opera Britannia by Mark Pullinger
