"...Presented
as a premiere: a music full of inward gestures and virtuoso tempi with
fantastical solo cadenzas. The Costa Rican violist Edmundo Ramirez
conveyed these things intensely in a concertante dialogue with the
orchestra... The audience was jubilant.”
The Neues Deutschland newspaper in Berlin
“in
the Albeniz Phantasy for Viola Solo and Orchestra composed
by the thorough conductor the sense of form was most successful, also
because Edmundo Ramirez played the solo part with the most beautiful
intensity.”
The Berliner Morgenpost
