Chris Kettle, Seen and Heard International, May 2023"Gilchrist’s performance was so utterly compelling that there was no question of relaxing. With Huw Watkins an attentive accompanist, Gilchrist inhabited each song, expressing its essence not only with his voice but with his whole body. There was no hint of self-conscious theatre about this; it sprang from his own response to Schubert and Muller, fused with a natural impulse to communicate each song, to get it across to us, as totally as possible. [...] Gilchrist’s singing was always beautiful, with a richly baritonal lower register deepening its expressive reach."
Erica Jeal, The Guardian, July 2020”Gilchrist is, as ever, a hugely clear and communicative singer, in perfect balance with Tilbrook’s sense of focus and poise"
