Reviews:
“Carl Johengen stood out with sensitive phrasing. In “Comfort Ye”, he
infused his tenor with dynamics and nuance. In “Ev’ry Valley”, he spun
out seamless sequences on a single breath. His voice is not powerful
but exquisite.” Syracuse Post-Standard
“Especially good (was)...the plangent tenor of Carl Johengen”
City (Rochester, NY)
“Carl Johengen...fulfilled multiple assignments with consistent
distinction ...making especially strong points.”
Syracuse Herald-Journal
“Carl Johengen's...crisp diction during the numerous recitatives made
those normally dull spots a source of pleasure.”
Syracuse Herald-Journal
“Carl Johengen carried himself impeccably...the most graceful yet
commanding person onstage...a vocal talent worth watching....”
