CRITIC REVIEW:

“Ansseau had a vibrant and glowing tenor which maintained its youthful beauty, unfaded, over a long career (1913-40). He had a strong and unforced top register, flexible and with great warmth and perfect diction. Remarkably, his voice kept its sheen and colorful characteristics until his retirement from performing.”
