PRESS REVIEW:

"[...] César del Caño has been able to approach the texts with a varied style, staying true to his spirit, adding personality and good workmanship, while risking in the treatment [...] a CD to enjoy it, and in which the author shows off his talent ".

Xosé Freire  (The Opinion)

​

"A brilliant example of the rigor with which this musician faced these compositions […] turned into little gems to each more accomplished. The versatile voice of the performer surprises at all times by the versatility achieved in the various performances"

Xoán Manuel Estévez  (Batonga)
