Grand Théâtre de Genève - Boris Godunov - The Innocent - November 2018
Sobrado de medios y con gran sensibilidad e intencionalidad estuvo Boris Stepanov (El Inocente), que contribuyó a la gran suntuosidad de la escena de la catedral, de lo mejor que se escuchó gracias a una voz de bello color pero también a un saber decir y canto naturales, además de una sentida musicalidad.
- Opera Actual, Albert GarrigaRead the article
Facilité d’émission, douceur, clarté, précision de l’impact et de la ligne, voici les qualités conjuguées par le ténor Boris Stepanov, Iourodivi attachant et bien chantant qui rompt avec la tradition qui consiste à se contenter de geindre.
- Anaclase, Bertrand BolognesiRead the article
À l’exception tardive de la bouleversante interprétation de Boris Stepanov (l’Innocent) qui, en quelques notes, captive son auditoire quand bien même autour de lui la scène se vide de tous.
- ResMusica, Jacques SchmittRead the article
Théâtre du Capitole, Toulouse - Macbeth - Malcolm - May 2018
Le ténor Boris Stepanov dans le rôle ingrat de Malcolm, (toujours présent, mais très peu seul) offre un beau ténor spinto (appuyé), brillant, énergique, et très raffiné.
- Olyrix, Paula GaubertRead the article
Dans la brève apparition de Malcolm au dernier acte on remarque le timbre et la projection de Boris Stepanov.
- Forum Opera, Maurice Salles Read the article
Ópera Nacional de Chile - Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk - Zinovi Ismailov- October 2017
Zinovi fue interpretado con seguridad por el muy joven tenor lírico Boris Stepanov, quien logró un buen complemento con la orquesta.
- El Mercurio, Andrés YaksicRead the article
Corre a la par del marido de Katerina, Zinovi, encarnado por el tenor Boris Stepanov; el cantante configura un carácter anodino, cobarde, astutamente pusilánime para ocultar su subyugación al poder de su padre Boris. Gran labor de Stepanov, que con equilibrio se maneja entre esas dos fuerzas de la naturaleza que son Katerina y Boris.
- Tuiteros Cultura, José Luis Arredondo A.Read the article
Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra - Boris Godunov - Simpleton, 2016/17
Boris Stepanov was remarkable as The Simpleton, in what is perhaps the most interesting scene of the opera.
- Laura Servidei, BachtrackRead the article
Grand Théâtre de Genève - Orleanskaya Deva - Raymond, 2016/17
den von ihm vorgesehenen Schwiegersohn Raymond singt Boris Stepanov traumhaft schön mit weichem, elastischem und leuchtendem Tenor, der an die legendären lyrischen russischen Tenöre denken lässt.
- Samuel Zinsli, Opera LoungeRead the article
Boris Stepanov est un Raymond délicieusement juvénile
- Laurent Bury, Forum OperaRead the article
Du côté des messieurs, si on retrouve avec bonheur la voix de Boris Stepanov (Raymond) déjà agréablement remarqué dans le Carmina Burana de l’an dernier à Genève, c’est un festival de barytons
- Jacques Schmitt, Res MusicaRead the article
Il est toujours accompagné du jeune Raymond, promis à Jeanne, qui est interprété intelligemment par le ténor Boris Stepanov. Sa voix est agréablement timbrée, tant dans les médiums que les aigus, avec une projection toujours bien équilibrée.
- Emmanuel Deroeux, OlyrixRead the article
Grand Théâtre de Genève - Carmina Burana - Tenor, 2016
Ce sont les remarquables Regula Mühlemann (Soprano), Boris Stepanov (Ténor) et Stephan Genz (Baryton).
- Thomas Hahn, Danser Canal HistoriqueRead the article
La présence d’excellents solistes, dont la splendide soprano lucernoise Regula Mühlemann à la voix cristalline, ainsi que le ténor Boris Stepanov et le baryton Stephan Genz, apporte une aura supplémentaire à ces chants profanes portés par le chœur du Grand Théâtre.
- Cécile Dalla Torre, Le CourrierRead the article
Chez les solistes, on distingue néanmoins la voix claire et éthérée de Regula Mühlemann, les aigus stratosphériques de Boris Stepanov
