"Oroveso was impressively embodied by the young Serbian bassist Sava Vemić. Tall and stage-imposing, with a deep bass profundo voice that is so lacking in our time and in the future ideal for the big Verdian roles."

Kathimerini, September 2023

"Sava Vemic sings and primordial depths open up. The young Serbian bass effortlessly opens the black lowest registers, remains there completely effortlessly and swings through all registers - the world has been waiting for this quality."

OnlineMerker, October 2020
