Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi", Opera Company of Philadelphia, April/May 2009
Mugging seems to be a necessary evil, but that rarely happened at the Academy of Music, most significantly in Mark Stone's vocally sonorous portrayal of the title role. Any singer who ends up onstage in his underwear without falling into British farce cliches is a fine actor indeed.

Mendelssohn's "Elias", Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, March/April 2009
Enorme también el Elías de Mark Stone, que llenó de carácter y fuerza expresiva su durísimo papel.
Julián Carrillo, El País, 30 March 2009
Macmillan's "St John Passion", Berlin Rundfunkchor, March 2009
Zwischen ihnen erklingt die Bariton-Stimme des Herrn Jesu, schlicht nachdrücklich und gar nicht jenseitig. Dieser Jesus Christus glaubt geradezu mit menschlicher Vernunft. Der wunderbar frische Marc Stone leiht ihm seine Stimme.
Von Klaus Geitel, Berliner Morgenpost, 16 March 2009
Neal Davies cut a sharper impression as Dulcamara, the quack in the pack. So did Mark Stone as Belcore, the practised wooer with all the right gear: motorbike, navy duds, sunglasses.
