“Mostly Spanish, recorded by the talented ALMA ensemble, offers a stimulating, eclectic program of concert songs and instrumental solos spanning four centuries. One enjoys the lovely, warmly rich coloratura voice of Anna Bartos, Fabio Gardenal's sensitivity and stylistic awareness, the heartfelt intensity of Virgina Luque's playing and the hauntingly expressive tones of Patricia Kaczmarczyk’s flute. A beautiful performance!” - S. Velez, Asst. Curator, Rodgers & Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts

“...wonderful music performed with imagination, respect and absolute integrity of artistic interaction. Maig is exquisite. Polaca is spectacular. The voice & flute combination in The Salley Gardens is heartbreakingly beautiful! Pianist Gardenal’s rendition of the second Danza for piano by Ginastera moved me deeply, and I thoroughly enjoyed Me muero por tu amor by guitarist, Virginia Luque. I am also utterly enchanted with the voice of Anna Bartos.” - Professor Philip Krummrich, Chair, Dept. of English, Foreign Languages and Philosophy, Morehead State University
