Pure talent... Glad he signed up for this competition and I got to see his performance 12 years (too) late. Thanks for sharing.

[davidsolo]

how am I only hearing this now? 10x better than anyone else I've heard on these talent shows

[anmariehaller]

Wow, what a voice!! What an honor to be able to hear Martin singing. Hope we will hear much more of him in the future!!!

[MusicforMe]

I can clearly say that is one of the best performances that I have ever heard. Why he is not noticed until now is beyond belief.

[nanborg]

Someone who says he can sing Nessun Dorma and actually has the voice-type and musicality to back it up. Wow. That's a real Nessun Dorma.

[JamesAHollandMusic]

Wow! This is better done than what I’ve heard from a lot of big name Tenors! Being 48 myself, I must give this man all the respect in the world. Bravo!

[Honeythorn]

This is a very difficult aria to sing in the first place...Especially the last vincerò, you have to nail that with beyond perferction. And this guy KILLED One of the BEST I've ever seen an ameture do. Nessun Dorma is my number one Aria and not many can sing this. His singing made me cry, it moved me so much.

[sheilamorrell]

Why am I only hearing this 11 years later, just superb, just a joy.

[scouse]

Out bloody standing.Martin is just pure pitch and tone perfection in EVERY song he has covered.Long may he carry on and bring us more of his amazing and brilliant talent :)

[susiearviso]

This brought tears to my eyes. Humanity is full of surprises.

[Mbelo]

This man sings with great passion, incredible voice.
Voice like him is an honor to hear

[BobsArtGallery]

I´m very impressed...This voice is a gift from God. Next step; A dentist, and a good shave !!

[martinlang]

Why wasn't he discovered 30 years ago? How can such a talent be kept hidden all that time? I suppose better late than never, but it's still such a pity we haven't been able to listen to him for the last 30 years - when he may just have been singing in the bathroom. But I wish those who come onto the show to sing opera would find something different.

[zanac]

That was wonderful! Best I have heard in many years and it is already ten years old! Wow!

[gmo]

That is not how that works.

[simonl]

12 years later, still amazing talent.

[thomashockin]

His tonality is totally outstanding!!!! Better than many I have heard !!

[coerfjoe]

Every choir member comes across natural talents that go unrecognized. We had 2 'ringers' show up for Christmas rehearsal and we were rehearsing "Messiah." Before the evening rehearsal was finished we discovered there was a bass member who sang the tenor part as well! This exceptional discovery, Martin Hurkens, is so wonderful to emerge to acclaim so deserving. You can postpone your dream, raise a family, and re-emerge.

[ioiobaci]

i can't bellieve my ears! wow! what a performance, man...
what a tribut...
congratulations
