Baritone Julian Rippon’s fine voice conveyed the poignant sentiment of Ich habe genug with great empathy
Philip R Buttall, Seen and Heard International
(Bach Cantata BWV 82 ‘Ich Habe Genug’, Dartington)
The highlights in [Puccini’s Messa di Gloria] were the baritone solo in the Benedictus, sung powerfully by Julian Rippon, and the wonderful two hander between he and tenor, Peter Wilman, in the final Agnus Dei.
Jenny McCubbin (Puccini Messa di Gloria, Bridgwater)
The part of Elijah was performed by one of Devon's outstanding bass baritones, Julian Rippon. He was a most impressive figure - and his voice was perfect for the part, and very impressive.
Luch Càise-Dearg (Elijah, Topsham)
... assured and warm of tone, with commendable command of the upper register ... powerful
Fanny Langrishe (Monteverdi Vespers, Exmouth)
... Julian Rippon was a gentle, lyrical Jesus.
Koh Yoshimura, Andante.com (St John Passion, Tokyo)
Julian Rippon delivered the Qui tollis with great conviction, ... a commanding baritone.
Exmouth Herald (Haydn Nelson Mass, Duruflé Requiem, Exmouth)
On behalf of all of us at the Shaldon Festival, I would like to thank you for your brilliant contribution to our Choral Workshop yesterday. Your willingness to do all you could to help us out of a tight corner when our tenor was poorly was simply outstanding and we will never forget how cheerfully, and well, you filled in. We were thrilled by your singing, which was so beautiful and just right for the Haydn. I know that everyone involved would love to hear you again.

Bass soloist Julian Rippon was also in fine form with an intelligent and sympathetic performance.
