Reviews
Sarastro, San Francisco
"…Manfred Hemm was a dignified, if not overly charismatic, Sarastro. His bass voice descended to the lowest register with ease and naturalness…"
San Francisco Classical Voice, 2000
Enrico VIII, Munich
"…sehr erfolgreich auch das Debut von Manfred Hemm als Enrico, der mit seinem beweglichen und kraftvollen Bass stimmlich den Belcanto-Anforderungen voll gerecht wurde und einen eleganten, über Frauenleichen gehenden königlichen Bösewicht darstellte…eine bemerkenswerte Leistung…"
Der neue Merker, 1997
"…sang die undankbare Partie mit angenehmer und tragender Stimme sehr gut…"
Der neue Merker, 1998
"…schöne, samtene Töne, mit Geschmack und feinem Legato gesungen…"
tz, 1998
Enrico VIII, Pittsburgh
"…Manfred Hemm as Henry exhibited a gorgeous, grainy basso voice and was an imposing figure on stage…"
Post-Gazette, 2000
Gurnemanz, Scotland
"…The Gurnemanz of Manfred Hemm was magnificent: here, paradoxically, was the man “wise through compassion”, his generous bass rising from resonant depths to a lyric gleam in the narration of the spear, combining regret with mature acceptance in his announcement of the death of Titurel…"
Opera, 2000
"…the vocal performances are no less impressive, with Manfred Hemm’s magnificent Gurnemanz heading an exceptionally strong cast…"
Scotland on Sunday, 2000
"…I was unprepeared for the majesty and authority of the Austrian Bass Manfred Hemm’s Gurnemanz…his long monologues never palling nor losing vocal focus…"
The Sunday Telegraph, 2000
