Reviews
“A delightful collection including premiere performances. Clear sound, intimate feeling. This disc should open the ear to the heretofore unheard treasury of Baroque Spanish theater music. Highly recommended not only for something unusual, but also for an excellent performance that gives substance to this interesting repertory.” – Fanfare, USA

Reviews
“I was impressed with Jairo Serrano’s versatility. His attractive tenor voice is well suited to the repertoire with which he is obviously very familiar; his insight
into the characteristic Spanish zarzuela style and clear diction makes for very enjoyable listening.” – The Lute Society Magazine, UK

Reviews
“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)
“Limpid and dulcet voice… stylistic penchant, attractively performed… accompaniments are exquisite and haunting.”
