HEADLINE: 'PACO'S FLAMENCO REQUIEM IS SENSATIONAL'

HEADLINE: 'INSPIRING AND EXPLOSIVE'
 
'In a solo guitar piece that opened the concert, Peña’s music set the scene. With swift and precise fingers he magics a spirituality from his instrument, that may originate from a different culture and climate, but was perfectly placed in the Cathedral. “Recordando a Ramón” was a dramatic suite with dancer Fernando Romero underlining what Flamenco passion is about.'

HEADLINE: 'SPECTACULAR AND SENSATIONAL PERFOMANCE'

HEADLINE: 'A PACKED AUDIENCE AT SALISBURY CATHEDRAL ENJOYED ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MUSICAL EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THIS GREAT BUILDING'
 
'The dynamic tension between the harsh, crystal clear tones of flamenco – wrought in the furnace heat and poverty of the Andalucian mountains – and the more modulated and nuanced tones of the north European choir was a revelation.'
Andover Advertiser, DB - May 2005

HEADLINE: 'A UNIQUE SOUND EXPERIENCE... A VERY POWERFUL WORK'
 
'...Together they made an impressive force and despite being in the audience one felt a part of all that was happening on stage. The mix of soloists, sometimes Flamenco voice ‘interwoven alongside a solo soprano, was quite a unique sound experience.'
Classical Guitar Magazine, Thérèse Wassily Saba - September 2007
