Reseñas
“L’intention d’Alvear respectera la devise quand les indications de la compositrice orienteront les gestes d’un interprète doué pour la mesure. C’est là une ballade ralentie voire étouffée – encore Cage, encore Feldman ? – jusqu’à ce que le guitariste ait affaire à son propre souvenir…”
Nathan Thomas para Fluid Radio (UK)
“Alvear’s playing is once again beautifully clear and poised, with care given to each and every note, hum, and tap on the guitar’s body. The apparent simplicity of the piece belies the numerous crosscurrents, backflows, and asymmetries that shape and direct its flowing, from the general structure of the work right down to each discrete, unique sound event. The comparison of a poem to a stream is a long-standing literary cliché, which perhaps makes this review guilty of similar faults, but I do think Akama’s way of guiding openness towards form, and Alvear’s way of following that guidance, transforms the perception of time in the way great poetry often does.”
