“Engaging, insightful pianism, delightful touches of character to virtually every measure, without ever overdoing it. This was engaging, insightful pianism”
“Impeccable musicianship, elegance of line, and delicately sculptured phrasing to the ornate piano writing.”
“Clarity of mind and affinity for Schubert and Beethoven… beautifully etched Bagatelles, Op. 126.”
“Lopez and Wilcox showed close musical rapport, with scintillating playing of the rapid-fire figurations of the opening Allegro.”
“I listened to it immediately and was immediately impressed by your beautiful performance! Everything is perfect, beautiful sound and balance of both instruments, but above all your outstanding musicality…”
“López made much of the keyboard part, from its subtle imitation of birdcalls to the dynamic, almost optimistic Coda. The pianist was no less an asset in the Quintet in E-flat major Op. 16…”
“If there is a better contra and piano duo out there on disc, I’ve not heard it.”
“Pero fue en la Fantasía de Schubert donde descollaron más las extraordinarias condiciones del pianista, en terminos de dominio instrumental, musicalidad y control sobre los tiempos.”
“…López performed the technically challenging music (Alkan’s Op. 47) with just the right balance of bravura and restraint.”
“In particolare nel ‘Larghetto,’ il pianista ha sottolineato l’espressività nobile della scrittura.”
