"This is rocking and rolling Falla that might not play well with the usual admirers of low-decibel guitar duo music but that could, on the other hand, be used to introduce young audiences to Falla ... The whole thing is executed with close-up sound that adds to the intense effect, however, and anybody who has come under Falla's peculiar spell is encouraged to give this take on Falla favorites a try".
"Recording of the month: This CD ... contains two of Manuel de Falla's absolute masterpieces. If you know El amor brujo from the standard, orchestral version, such as Dutoit's or that of Frühbeck de Burgos that eliminate most of the vocal parts, this new one will come as quite a revelation and maybe even a shock ... While there are other choices available for these works, I know of none better than this Naxos recording and so heartily recommend it".
"With Esperanza Fernández as the cantaora, there's no lack of bite and raw intensity [in El Amor Brujo], and paired with an equally pungent account of another of Falla's utterly original music-theatre pieces, the chamber opera El Retablo de Maese Pedro, it's a really desirable bargain".
"Vurdering: Ugens cd" - "Katona Twins dækker over de ungarske tvillingebrødre Peter og Zóltan Katona. Tilsammen udgør de en guitar-duo, og der er fut i fejemøjet når de spiller ... Musikken har tvillingebrødrene selv arrangeret, og de tager sig bestemt kunstneriske friheder. De har indkaldt en sangerinde og en slagtøjsspiller for at skabe et originalt klangunivers. Det giver pote".
