Some of the press-commentaries about his performances:
,,Das Opernglas": ,,Konstantin Rittel-Kobylianski furnished his Earl of Luna with totally sung highs, he owns a good Legato-Culture, sang with much feeling and made the music of Verdi every honour: the clash Luna-Leonora in the 4th act was the singing an representational highlight of the presentation." (International Palace Festivals in Mecklenburg, Verdi "Il Trovatore")
,,Badische Zeitung": ,,The Ukrainian baritone Konstantin Rittel-Kobylianski is a singer with this, what is commonly called "Metal", he has a enormously volume and to this a reprensentational profoundness...", "...and on this account it is safe to prophesy him a great future..." ("A Baritone with Metal", from Susanne Brenda)
Forum ,,Bavarian State Opera": ,,...Konstantin Rittel-Kobylianski comes up vocally and optically at the highest stage to the requirements of the musical score and regie. He owns a great, wonderful voice. His charisma and personality are above average and this gives you pleasure to listen to him. He has the gift to apply his excellent voice in a sensational way..." (Massenet "Werther")
