Reviews
Gurnemanz, Genova
"Faut-il s'extasier encore sur la splendeur vocale de Manfred Hemm ou louer son intelligence de texte, du geste, son sens de nuances ou la tragique noblesse de son Gurnemanz ?... "
forum opera 2004
"...Manfred Hemm un Gurnemanz vibrante e teatrale. Partecipato ed imperioso, sobrio nel gesto, ma pieno di giovanile baldanza nel fraseggio. Ora si erge severo e minaccioso ed ora trova accenti commossi e religiosi, ma senza affettazione."
l�Opera, 2004
"...convinto e convincente..."
Il Secolo XIX, 2004
"�Abbiamo amato appassionamene l�indossidabilit�ocale, la ricchezza espressiva e il talento attoriale di Manfred Hemm (Gurnemanz)�
Gazetta del Luned�2004
"�protagonisti tutti di alto livello, tra questi, il Gurnemanz di Manfred Hemm, il cui ruolo di narratore, impone una resistenza vocale ed una duttilit��accenti di grande impegno�
Il Giornale, 2004
Gurnemanz, Mannheim
"Der hochgewachsene Manfred Hemm überzeugte als Gurnemanz nicht nur durch sein profundes Bassregister, sondern auch durch erstaunliche Bühnenpräsenz, die etwa den Alterungsprozess zwischen dem ersten und dritten Akt sinnf�ig machte, und ein zutiefst menschliches Mitleiden.
Mannheimer Morgen, 2002
Baron Ochs, Scotland
"�brutally frank, Oliver Reed-like Baron Ochs a real powerhouse�"
Herald, 2002
"...Manfred Hemm's Ochs is younger, sexier and therefore infinitely more dangerous than most..."
The Guardian, 2002
"...Manfred Hemm is a complex, funny and unusually sympathetic Baron Ochs..."
Scotland on Sunday 2002
"�The big change comes with a new, nicely sung Baron Ochs from Manfred Hemm. He is young, handsome, well set-up and with a twinkle in his eye. Whether or not sufficient adjustment has been made in the production to traditional shock-horror reactions to a character often played as a grotesque is open to debate, but it certainly sharpens the confrontation in the third act where this agreeable chap hardly deserves what�s coming to him�"
The Times, 2002
