'Falla's colourful music evolves magnificently, especially in its magical evocation of night falling over Granada and in its colourful Spanish dance rhythms…The Salud herem Ana María Sánchez, has a suitably powerful and well-projected voice, and one with the right combination of soprano and mezzo colour…The orchestral and choral contribution is strong and idiomatic too…'
Andrew Lamb, Gramophone, 01 May 2004

‘…the reason why people get really attached to this piece is the music’s blend of power and vitality, tragedy and life force, invoking Wagner and Massenet with Spanish material in which the local character is not just an overlay, but the very essence of the melody and movement…a fresh perspective is welcome, especially one as distinctive and committed as this.’
Robert Maycock, BBC Music Magazine, 01 May 2004
