Reviews:
"Listening to Kastorsky sing is a unique experience since he took such meticulous care of his voice as well as being meticulously score-accurate without being pedantic or boring. I urge you to listen to all of his issued recordings, but recommend that you start with one of his electrical recordings, Glinka’s song Autumn. This is so realistically recorded that you’d swear he was singing right in your living room, and it will give you a good “sound print” in the mind as you listen to the other available recordings. I sincerely hope that you will be as impressed as I am; as far as I’m concerned, Vladimir Kastorsky’s recorded legacy is practically a protracted singing lesson. The more you hear of him, the more impressed you are. I doubt that he ever made a bad record in his life." Lynn Rene Bayley, The Art Music Lounge
