Critical Acclaim
“The singers of the concert choir mastered their demanding part with bravura, and the symphony orchestra conducted by Boris Cepeda accompanied the choir with warmth and perfection.”
“The outstanding Ecuadorian pianist Boris Cepeda offered at the Berlin Philharmonic a mature interpretation of Schumann’s opus 54 concerto, much applauded by the audience.”
“The remainder of his programme was eclectic in mood and content, starting with finely delineated accounts of Granada, Asturias and Sevilla from Isaac Albeniz’s Suite Espanola. He relished the playful and flamboyant aspects of Maurice Ravel’s Alborada del Gracioso, as well as the rich palette and generous scale of Heitor Villa-Lobos’s Rudepoema, the composer’s portrait of Arthur Rubinstein. Cepeda reached his virtuosic peak with Liszt’s Rhapsodie Espagnole, with playing by turns exuberant, light-hearted and even monumental in scale, in response to the work’s considerable demands.”
“The hour-long piano delight begins with Max Reger’s “Four Special Studies for the Left Hand,” which probably no one has mastered as fluently and expressively as Cepeda.”
