STUTTGART Stuttgart Neue Musik Zeitung


We are sure that Ludwig Hess who stands alone as singer, conductor and composer, will be the means of furthering the interests of high class art in America as he has done here and we shall be proud of him.




HANNOVER Hannoverscher Courier


A tenor of such fullness of tone, manifold tone coloring, nobility of production and possessing a perfect mezzä voce — added to all these qualities, ripe musical comprehension and deep passionate feeling.




NEW YORK New York Tribune


Mr. Hess is a man of fine presence and no less fine voice of ample power and good natural timbre *** There seemed to be a disposition to outdo Wöllner in the matter of expression but he is his Model's master as regards voice, quality and tone control while his capacity for humorous expression is quite inimitable.




NEW YORK New York Sun


His voice is one of great natural beauty and he disclosed himself as a typical German tenor, but free from the faults most cherished in Teutonic ideals of singing.
Mr. Hess can and does sing a good legato and has great merit in his declamation and general style.



NEW YORK New York Telegram


His English enunciation is as clear cut and excellent as his German.

NEW YORK New York Times


Mr. Hess voice has both beauty and power and there are certain excellent qualities in his singing that give it unusual value.  His general conception of the songs he sings, his phrasing and diction are admirable.  In his English songs he treated the language with clearness and showed little accent.




PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia Inquirer
