into the characteristic Spanish zarzuela style and clear diction makes for very enjoyable listening.” – The Lute Society Magazine, UK

“Música Ficta offers a fascinating perspective of this Apollenean- Dyonisian mixture of the Latin-American baroque, that musical apotheosis of feast and adoration in which it is difficult to distinguish adoration of the celestial from the terrestrial. There is good reason for this recording to be nominated for a prize.” – Klassik Magazin, Germany (5 stars ***** Outstanding, Musyka21, Poland)
