“a selection of intimate works, some emblematic, others less known, which oscillate between tradition and modernity. But all of them, without exception, celebrate the Spanish soul and its Hispanic American heritage, its light and its authenticity. Esther Rayo invites you to this experience, as unforeseen as it is captivating, and she does it with the infinite warmth and sweetness of her timbre. Peter Grünberg, with a very well articulated interpretation and sober in its exquisiteness, greatly delights listening.… Rayo and Grünberg offer dazzling performances here. As in the master’s canvases and engravings, the musical palette recreates the painter’s imagination.… The pianist also handles with skill the various pauses in the narration, as well as the abundant trills, worthy of Domenico Scarlatti.… Esther Rayo’s interpretation is luminous, always in tune with the language of each composer… Pianist Peter Grünberg is an inspired companion, who brings true authenticity to these pieces. Recorded by sound engineer Matt Carr at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, in Belvedere (opposite the wide San Francisco Bay), California, United States, offer a close and intimate sound and a perfect balance.”
