About tenor REMIGIO

...real opera chops...with spine tingling results. Particularly impressive... [Remigio's] early highlight was Panis Angelicus, famously covered by Luciano Pavarotti and Sting. Who needs Sting? Remigio nailed it. (Edmonton Sun) 

The most soul piercing voice of the 21st Century (Kelly Hill)  

I’m listening to an Angel sing (Judy Neale)  

Exciting moments included the stage burning red during the flurry of finger work on the guitar... [The] final note thundered over the cheers of the standing and applauding audience (Aesthetic Magazine
, Toronto)
