Homenaje a Roberto Garcia Morillo

Reviews:

“This piano solo album was recorded at N.York’s LeFrak Concert hall. The high-quality recording captures the beauty of the sound as it fades into the atmosphere, and presents the music in a very real way… Marcela’s playing carefully draws out the melody line and brings the compositional contours clearly in to relief. In the mood of these compositions, I caught a glimpse of the composer’s romantic charm that once was pervaded Marcela’s playing. Marcela’s pianistic gift for subtly nuanced interpretation made this possible. I realized once again, what a truly rich, expressive sound the instrument the piano makes a smooth, supple sound with hidden depths of strength… This album is an important milestone for Marcela Fiorillo, who keeps us anticipating more.”

“Pianista argentina de extendida trayectoria, Marcela Fiorillo acaba de inaugurar un nuevo segmento de su vida como interprete que se podria denominar de difusion de la musica argentina en los EEUU, algo que ya habia concretado llevando nuestra creatividad pianistica a dispares paises del mundo siempre con sostenido brillo… El exquisito pianismo de Fiorillo se diversifica entonces y entrega un mosaico delicioso en musicalidad, tecnicismo y poder de comunicacion reflejando con total probidad estilos opuestos y características particulares de cada uno de los compositores…Notable trabajo de esta pianista con trazos azules y blancos”
