(The Boston Globe)

"The expressive tenor of Don Bernardini lends Idomeneo, the king of Crete, an unforgettable profile."  (Berner Zeitung)

"Don Bernardini, as Chevalier des Grieux, goes from the delicacy of a heart at desperate passion to an intense darkness".  (Le Dimanche)

"Mr. Bernardini has an attractive lyric voice, a solid technique and a becoming stage presence. His pliant phrasing and clear diction were consistently rewarding."   (Alfredo - The New York Times)
