In Italy, critics have delighted to tell their readers that Sorrentino is an artist who has the power to thrill one evening as ‘’Canio’’ in Pagliacci; on a second evening as ‘’Cavaradossi’’ in La Tosca, or as ‘’Nemorino’’ in Elisir d’Amore; again, on another occasion, to appear calmly on the unadorned platform of the concert hall and uplift the assemblage by his poetic rendition of songs. Sig. Sorrentino sings with dramatic fervour, his voice, ample in volume, has a suave quality and a legato that few tenors can boast of. He toured America from coast to coast, in opera and recital and appeared as a soloist with many leading orchestras.
He was a great friend of Enrico Caruso

Dr. Fitzgerald related the story of signor Umberto Sorrentino, a noted tenor, who claimed to be able to relieve the tightness in his throat by squeezing the lateral aspect of his forefinger and the thumb, as these points helped and governed the vocal cords.
