The Last Trial (fantasy musical)
There was never such a literal understanding of the musical texts before. Each word was pronounced with the proper meaning. It gets scary sometimes. Yes, it is impossible to fall in love with such a Raistlin, yes, «love is a death», and after watching Yaroslav's version you will be convinced that this is a tragedy and not a second-rate fantasy"
Anton Kruglov, composer // Vox Populi: online magazine. - 2019 .-- November 20. Margaret Weis|Margaret Weiss, author of the Dragonlance book series. About the promo video of Yaroslav's premiere in the role of Raistlin Majere, the character she created.
Rock-opera Jesus Christ Superstar
The appearance of Jesus at first causes some dissonance - Yaroslav Bayarunas, who played the main role that evening, seemed very young for this role, but once you hear the memorable arias in his performance, all doubts are immediately dispelled, and you take the created image on faith and think: “Yes Christ could have been like that. " Indeed: Jesus Christ is a superstar.”
Anna Neverova. Easter Sunday with the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar" // MuseCube. The territory of creative freedom.: Internet magazine. - 2016 .-- May 3.
“If anyone watches us on YouTube, they could see how Yaroslav Bayarunas emotionally performed a fragment of Judas' aria here. Thank you very much, it was great ... We invite everyone who wants to see it all live! True, this is very energizing, here I wanted to dance in my chair.”
Marina Stavniychuk, radio host for Echo of Moscow. 50 years of the rock opera Jesus Christ is a superstar! Forever # 1! // Echo of Moscow: radio station. - 2020 .-- January 17.
Live Performing
Concerts of Yaroslav Bayarunas, except the undoubted acting and vocal talent of the performers, this is a whole world of musical sensations and feelings. There is always live music, musical experiments and original arrangements, always surprises and special effects, always amazing turns and a new mood every time! There is a different story each time and a separate universe ...”
}}RockWeek: rock magazine. - 2019.- December 4 “First of all, Yaroslav Bayarunas brought everything together with vocals. The vocal of this artist has an interesting property - somehow it turns out to capture different shades of emotions, but turn them into one spectrum. And then - he passes it through himself and gives away completely. It is mesmerizing and makes you want more.”
