Paco Peña Company – Royal Festival Hall,
Independant Review, London
'Though he is the driving blood-on-the-sand drama of flamenco, he [Paco Peña] also has a fine lyrical touch and a penchant for a kind of baroque impressionism, alongside his knack of producing far more notes than one pair of hands would seem capable of playing.' * * * * * The Guardian, London
'It is as if his [Angel Muñoz] spirit is busting through his dancing body, and when he shrugs and grins after nailing a virtuosic set of turns and hurling himself into stillness, the sold-out audience just roars.' The Vancouver Review
The Dominion Post, New Zealand “…he [Paco Peña] is one of the concert scene’s true untouchables, a living exponent of the ancient art of flamenco…” The Adelaide Review, Australia “The spontaneity, the depth of skill and the sheer bueaty leave one breathless. Peña and his team are supremos. One concert just isn’t enough.” The Adelaide Review, Australia “…each tour is a kind of report card on the state of flamenco art. We can report that it is as fresh, vital and astonishing as ever...” The Australian
This exhilarating evening of flamenco guitar, song and dance, in its purest form, stars Mr. Peña with his company of top class musicians and dancers and has toured all over the world receiving standing ovations and great reviews. What the papers said about Flamenco In Concert: with captivating music, heart-stopping song and some of the most brilliant Spanish dancing to click across a Toronto stage." “A genuine virtuoso. This listener cannot recall hearing any guitarist with a more assured mastery of his instrument.” New York Times “Peña is noted for amazing technical fluency and expressive nuance, but above all for integrating the bravura display into the totally true, spontaneous statement of emation he sees as the heart of flamenco.” The Los Angeles Times |
