| Yoon Soo Shin - Selected Reviews | bio and resume |
| "As Edgardo, tenor Yoon Soo Shin displayed an astonishingly powerful and convincing instrument. In the developing post-Domingo age, where booming-yet-expressive tenors seem to be a rarity, his career already shows great promise." Edgardo in "Lucia di Lammermoor" |
| - Washington Times - April 2007 |
"Voice technique, understanding of the music all in place, Shin presented the most laid-back, pleasant royal cad in my memory-he has a voice." Duke in "Rigoletto" |
| - S.F Classical Voice - July 2000 |
"Yoonsoo Shin brought a fluent, sinewy tenor to the role of Rigoletto's patron, the libidinous Duke of Mantua. His tone was light, lovely and seemingly effortless." |
| - Merola Opera Program-S.F Chronicle - July 2000 |
"Tenor Yoonsoo Shin unleashed a glorious blend of lyric and heroic singing, reminding one of how a couple of operatic tenors from earlier times, Jan Peerce and Richard Tucker, used to return to their cathedral traditions when faced with music of this kind." |
| - Berlioz's Requiem-The Herald - Times-April 2000 |
"Yoonsoo Shin is a delight as he renders a carefree attitude and sings with a nice warm quality that projects, yet is easy on the ears." IU Opera "Rigoletto" |
| - Bloomington Independent - March 2001 |
"Saturday's show seemed to belong to tenor Yoonsoo Shin, whose Chevalier des Grieux was fine indeed. Dramatically, he was more convincing as a heartbroken lover than as a reckless gambler. Vocally, he was capable of subtlety in gentle moments like the dream scene, but also controlled power for big climactic moments." |
