“Peña;s technique wasflawless, from silky tremolos to fiery strummed rasguedos.”-Los Angeles Times
“…certainly the mostsatisfying flamenco concertthis reviewer has heard. Mr.Peña’s approach is vibrantand full bodies, and he makeseffective use of the guitar’stactile qualities – whether therapid, machine-gun likeflourishes that blast from hisinstrument, or the soft shadinghe etches with intricatedelicacy…”-The New York Times
“As the show progressesthrough exquisite solos,ensembles and duets…theelements fuse before our veryeyes and ears. (T)he push-me-pull-you crossover continuesthrough a free-spirited battleof musical wills to climax in aconcussive orgy of music anddance that threatens to blow the roof off the auditorium. A fantastic night.”-DAILY EXPRESS, London
