"Hernandez... created a world around him that drove his emotions, and E lucevan le stelle from Tosca was visceral and stirring. He drew Pederson, as Tosca, into his world and a powerful ending."
"...a rare treat..." "[Mr. Hernández is] an engaging performer, endowed with a rich, well-supported instrument"

“Jesús Daniel Hernández’ sensational tenor voice has a clarion purity that could fill a cavernous auditorium...” “The many highpoints build to a stunning climax...” “Highly Recommended”
“But what’s truly amazing and makes this show worth experiencing is how Hernandez doesn’t need all the strobe lights, high-tech amplification and hype that rock stars are given. He just is as he is. When he lets out all the stops of his naturally big, glorious tenor voice, “bravos!” erupt from the audience.”

“... it was delightful to see his [Plácido Domingo’s] work in the evening’s finale with the two young Mexican tenors in his Domingo-Cafritz program, … and Jesus Daniel Hernandez. Both already possess powerful voices, great diction and an exciting stage presence. When they sang with the Mr. Domingo it seemed, if only for a moment, that the Three Tenors were in a process of rebirth.”

“Tenor Jesus Daniel Hernandez (Macduff) … showed amazing vocal quality in a powerful duet ensemble… In Scene 2 Hernandez eloquently presented Macduff’s lamentations at the loss of his wife and children. In Scene 4 Hernandez’ strong voice was particularly striking when he proclaimed Malcolm the new king.”
“Jesus Daniel Hernandez, with a thrilling voice, who has left the U.S. Army to become a protege of Placido Domingo. A name to watch for, Hernandez delivered a bravura, heart-warming tour-de-force one-tenor concert of those Latin songs closest to his heart…”
“The leading tenor role of Malakai demanded nuanced singing (“Pick me a purple daffodil” and “Today is the day of reckoning”) and a two-octave range from powerhouse Jesús Daniel Hérnandez. With strong, clear tone, and a bit of an edge, Hérnandez brought out depth and nuance in an otherwise supporting character. His choices emphasized Malakai’s charming naïveté, belying the tenor’s decades of success in Verdi and Puccini masterworks.”…"Hérnandez showcased a wide range of vocal styles, from a crystal-clear, non vibrato love duet to a warm, heartfelt tone expressing Malakai’s concern for Constanza.”

“Hernández tiene una voz preciosa, con “una pureza de clarín”. Su rango vocal es impresionante y las escenas amorosas las hace con una enorme ternura.”
