Reviews

Read the latest reviews about the CD

“We have grown accustomed to praising Fernandez’s “ant-like” work in designing and structuring Villa-Lobos’ nationalist educational project. And we forget that he was also a great composer—this is the greatest merit of Clélia Iruzun’s outstanding album.”
-João Marcos Coelho, Concerto Magazine
“Clélia Iruzun performs these works with great inspiration and sensitivity. In the quieter pieces, she highlights the lyrical qualities and enchanting melodies, while in the faster works she brings out their dance-like character and lively spirit.”
-Remy Franck, Pizzicato
“Colorful and dynamically nuanced, sensitive yet full of playfulness, Clélia Iruzun presents these piano miniatures with remarkable artistry. A composer full of vitality and spirit, he is well worth discovering.”
-Elisabeth Richter, NDR
“Pianist Clélia Iruzun, a Rio native like Fernández, makes a strong case for this composer in her new album.”
-Ted Gioia, The honest broker
