Venus and Adonis - Transition Opera, Christian Curnyn, February 2009
a quirky Cupid... Andrew Radleys
Cupid was lively and enjoyable throughout, with a strong vocal
performance that carried well

Flight - British Youth Opera, Nicholas Cleobury, September 2008
the Refugee, outstandingly sung bythe counter-tenor Andrew
Radley. The latters account of his escape to the west during which his
brother froze to death is a musical and emotional peak

Giulio Cesare - Freiburger Barockorchester, Jacobs, June 2008
Andrew Radley (Nireno), vocally enticing and dramatically
involved, formed a very sympathetic pairing with Sandrine Piau as her
acolyte and accomplice.

Handel's Poro - 2006 Goettingen Festival
"Young British countertenor Andrew Radley stepped in as a
last- minute replacement singing the role of Gandarte. He acquitted
himself extremely well both dramatically and musically...”
- Opera Magazine
Handel's Tamerlano - Cambridge Handel Opera Group, 2005
"Countertenor Andrew Radley has a strong stage presence and
his Tamerlano rightly often dominated the stage. Radley seemed at ease
with the complex passage-work that characterises some of Tamerlano's
arias. I look forward to hearing and seeing much more of Andrew Radley
as he seems a natural stage creature."

Handel's Tamerlano - Cambridge Handel Opera Group,
2005
"Tamerlano himself, sung by the commanding Andrew Radley,
was suitably repellent"
- Opera magazine
Handel's Flavio, Early Opera Company, 2005
"[Flavio] is not a heroic role, but Handel wrote it for the
castrato Berenstadt ... and the countertenor Andrew Radley seized his
opportunities, with strongly projected singing, to make something of
the king's wayward character."
- Opera magazine
Handel's
Susanna, Early Opera Company, 2003
"Rachel Nicholls enthralled [...], balancing her loving duets with the
countertenor Andrew Radley's creamy, well-phrased Joachim."
- Opera magazine
"One
of the UK's most promising young singers"
- Chester Chronicle,
