The Roadside Fire / Linn Records 2022
“This new disc reveals him to have a finely burnished and beautifully flexible bass-baritone voice, his fluidity and sense of line perhaps surprising given the deep dark tone, but he can also lighten things. His performance of RVW’s Songs of Travel is notable for the wide variety of timbre that he brings to the piece, allied to remarkable dynamic range. Yes, the voice thrills in the climaxes but in the serious centre of the cycle in numbers six and seven, he can be finely intimate and gentle, even in the higher reaches. And his diction is very fine indeed.”

Harašta: The Cunning Little Vixen / English National Opera 2022
“Ossian Huskinson makes an impressive impact as the poacher Harašta, exemplarily clear.”
The Guardian
“The other standout assumption is that of Ossian Huskinson’s Harašta, (the poacher), strong, almost elemental, as if to remind us that humans, like animals, have an emotional, reactive side that is most prevalent in youth.”
