“…the delicacy of his phrasing charms the listener’s ear.”

Benjamin Bernheim incarne le rôle-titre, d’abord depuis un pupitre à l’avant-scène (alors suppléé par le comédien Jean-Yves Chilot en Faust âgé). Déjà, sa voix claire et chaude démontre la fougue de son personnage […] Puis, tout au long de la représentation, la délicatesse de son phrasé charme l’oreille de l’auditeur. Dans son grand air, il lance son contre-ut avec assurance et « présence », dans une tenue puissante mais fine et amoureuse.

[Benjamin Bernheim plays the title role, first from a note stand in the foreground (then replaced by actor Jean-Yves Chilot as elderly Faust). Already, his clear and warm voice demonstrates the ardor of his character […] Then, throughout the performance, the delicacy of his phrasing charms the listener’s ear. In his opening aria, he launches his high C with confidence and “presence”, in a powerfully but delicately and loving enrobed.]
