“Llorca is a gifted composer, with a spicy tonal vocabulary and a provocative orchestrational touch. The excellent Manhattan Choral Ensemble delivered its soulful neo-Renaissance motets with lovely tone and balance. The New York Opera Society Orchestra played beautifully under the confident baton of Emmanuel Plasson, while Rosa Torres Pardo executed the multiple piano solos impressively. Joachim Schamberger integrated dual language titles into suggestive projections of New York life.”
