Recording Review: Aldo López-Gavilán Junco: Emporium for Piano and Orchestra – Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra – Hechizos for Piano | ConcertoNet.com
“Be prepared to experience something novel, something rejuvenating, something otherworldly! Enter the musical genius of Cuban-born Aldo López‑Gavilán whose mixture of classical and jazz persuasions will electrify the listener from the get go… The result is a mélange of stunningly beautiful creations which stimulate the soul, both physically and emotionally… Morales’ edgy clarinet enclaves remark upon Leonard Bernstein, yet the flair is independently jazzy: both spicy and fruity.”
