Nuvol, May 2023"Thomas Hobbs managed to claim his worth and showed a fine and refined vocal line and a style marked by the most absolute delicacy."
BBC Music Magazine, June 2023"...Thomas Hobbs’s mellifluous tenor radiates quiet reassurance as the aria ‘Das Blut, so meine Schuld durchstreicht’ unfolds."
Olyrix, March 2022"From his first aria, Thomas Hobbs shows a great mastery of Purcell 's music by his ease in inserting himself into the ground of the musicians. His well-projected voice is agile, his phrasing fluid and his diction natural."
