“Some of the best vocal thrills come from the male quintet who depict the rose trees. They had some of the best comedy too.”

Cathy Desmond, THE IRISH EXAMINER, 2018

“All for soloists had beautiful, expressive voices. The first part was mainly joyful, including tenor Jean-Pascal Heynemand’s powerful solo “Ev’ry valley shall be exalted.”

Dianna Forrest, LOCALSOUNDFOCUS.COM, 2017

“Jean-Pascal Heynemand convincingly portrayed a smooth Normanno. His voice is sure, well placed and his timbre clear. His ‘Percorrete le spiagge vicine’ brilliantly opens the opera.”

Suzanne Lay, BACHTRACK>COM, 2017

“Hermes was powerfully voiced by Jean-Pascal Heynemand.”
