"A touching and radiant Nemorino, the young Mexican tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez is a revelation. From the beginning of his first aria, we are charmed by his luminous voice, perfectly placed, high and clear, magnified by a mastered legato and a superb sense of the text, capable of the most refined nuances, the sound production always smooth and on the breath, vocalizations with technical and musical accomplishment allowing him to suspend time in his aria 'Una furtiva lagrima', magnificently phrased and overwhelming with emotion. He gives the impression of being one with his character, which he embodies with a loyal truth and a touching fragility. He is a new talent to follow very closely."
Nicolas Grienenberger, www.classiquenews.com, May 14 2011

("Nemorino touchant et rayonnant, le jeune ténor mexicain Edgar Ernesto Ramírez fait figure de révélation. Dès le début de son premier air, on est charmés par sa voix lumineuse, parfaitement placée, haute et claire, magnifiée par un legato de grande école et un superbe sens du texte, capable des nuances les plus raffinées, à l'émission toujours moelleuse et sur le souffle, jusque dans des vocalises sans reproche, un accomplissement technique et musical lui permettant de suspendre le temps à travers 'une Furtive lagrima', magnifiquement phrasée et bouleversante d'émotion. Il donne l'impression de ne faire qu'un avec son personnage, qu'il incarne avec une vérité attachante et une fragilité attendrissante. Un nouveau talent à suivre de très près."
Nicolas Grienenberger, www.classiquenews.com, May 14 2011

"Vocally, the revelation of the evening was Ramírez, a true Italianate tenor with endless lung-power and a heroic tone. His triumphant entrance aria, "De este apacible rincón de Madrid," drew such thunderous applause and bravos Ramírez should have a bright future ahead of him. At the end, he was able to colour his voice so delicately that his contrition seemed completely believable."
Christopher Hoile, The Wholenote, March 2011

"Mexican tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez as Javier is a real talent"
Paula Citron, Classical 96.3, March 17 2011

"It was as clear as ever before: If Pesaro is a meeting of world stars, so is Bad Wildbad in early development. A vocal event for which there may…be only two gifted tenors:…Edgar Ernesto Ramírez exceeds his colleagues, he is even more winning and higher and brighter as Ramiro in "La Cenerentola". One would think that the Artistic Director should queue at the stage door with a contract in hand."
Heinz W. Koch, Opernwelt, September 2010 / Badische&Zeitung, July 21, 2010

("Dabei wurde so deutlich wie selten zuvor: Ist Pesaro ein Meeting der Weltstars, so sind in Bad Wildbad in statu nascendi zu erleben. Ein Vokalereignis, für das hier (außer Spyres) nur zwei begnadete Tenöre stehen mögen: der so samtene wie stratosphärensichere Gustavo Quaresma Ramos an diesem Doppelabend, der nur von seinem womöglich noch gewinnenderen und noch höhenstrahlenderen Kollegen Edgar Ernesto Ramírez als Ramiro in "La Cenerentola" übertroffen wird. Da, denkt man sich, müssten unsere Intendanten am Bühneneingang Schlange stehen, die Vertragsentwürfe in der Hand"
Heinz W. Koch, Opernwelt, September 2010 / Badische&Zeitung, July 21, 2010)

"Tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez designed his role of the noble prince with lyrical cantilena."
Ruhr Nachrichten.de, Martin Roeber, July 16, 2010

("Tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez gestaltet den edlen Prinzen mit lyrischer Kantilene."
Ruhr Nachrichten.de, Martin Roeber, July 16, 2010)

"In the other roles, there was solid expertise. The Mexican tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez brought his distinctive Rossini voice, especially in the impressive heights of the role, to advantage"
Pforzheimer Zeitung July 16, 2010

("In den übrigen Rollen herrschte solide Kompetenz. Der mexikanische Tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez brachte seine prägnante Rossini-Stimme vor allem in den Höhenflügen der Figur eindrucksvoll zur Geltung"
Pforzheimer Zeitung July 16, 2010)

"So give the Italian mezzo-soprano Serena Malfi and the Mexican tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez rise to the highest hopes, to become a new dream couple of belcanto opera. As Angelina (called Cenerentola) and Don Ramiro lead…the opera audience through a moving transformation game and finds its expressive end in the grand gesture of forgiveness"
Redaction Regio News CW July 2010

("So geben die italienischen Mezzosopranistin Serena Malfi und der mexikanische Tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez Anlass zu den schönsten Hoffnungen, ein neues Traumpaar der Belcanto-Oper zu werden. Als Angelina (genannt Cenerentola) und Don Ramiro führen die beiden hervorragenden jungen Solisten das Opernpublikum durch ein rührendes Verwandlungsspiel, das in der großen Geste des Verzeihens ihr ausdrucksstarkes Ende findet."
Redaction Regio News CW July 2010)

"Prince Ramiro is Edgar Ernesto Ramírez with a pleasant dark tone and with an encouraging and grounded technique, clear phrasing and musical sensitivity and thus young in his appearance yet with a very advanced vocal weight, demonstrating proper aristocratic restraint."
Udo Klebes, Der Neue Merker, July 2010

(Den Prinzen Ramiro gibt Edgar Ernesto Ramírez mit angenehm dunkler Klangfarbe und erfreulich breitem Fundament, klarer Phrasierung und musikalischer Einfühlsamkeit und damit ein für seine jugendliche Erscheinung schon sehr fortgeschrittenes vokales Gewicht und angemessene aristokratische Zurückhaltung.
Udo Klebes, Der Neue Merker, July 2010)

"Edgar Ernesto Ramírez was born to play the role of Nemorino. The Mexican tenor has an innocent open-faced quality, perfect for the gullible lovelorn peasant whose love for the wealthy Adina is not returned. Ramírez has a flexible and vibrant middleweight tenor…he handled the rapid-fire ensembles well and proved consistently amusing without crossing the line to mugging."
Lawrence A. Johnson, South Florida Classical Review March 2009

"Mexican tenor Edgar Ernesto Ramírez as Decio has a real Italianate sound of shimmering beauty."
