“This is highly listenable, lyrical fare with shades of Copland and Gershwin, the participants' passion audible in every bar”
New York Times
26th November 2010
“[Alondra de la Parra] does a real service with this beautifully performed survey of works from the late 19th century to the present. For many, the music will be a real find, from the sunny and infectious “Huapango” of José Pablo Moncayo to the unabashedly lush Intermezzo from Ricardo Castro’s opera “Atzimba.””
