Airam Hernández / Anmeldelser

The first cast is rich in strong vocal and acting performances, and the grace and accuracy of the ensemble is convincing. Soft timbre, clear style, uniformity of registers and good vocal school: those are not the only attributes of the Spanish tenor Airam Hernández in this performance. Hernández is a highly sensitive singer during ensemble parts and creates an extremely touching Alfredo.

A very special praise deserves Airam Hernández, which as the double god Apollo/Dionysus on one hand gives the man of reason, who calls for renewed violence in the name of justice and eternal glory, and on the other hand, with a golden erect giant penis shows the Dionysian pleasurable side of life. Airam Hernández succeeds outstandingly, with his wonderfully light and precisely appealing tenor voice, in bringing to life the two sides of the figure.
