Dodd’s Discoveries – NativeDSD Blog Review
I love this album– it’s peaceful, it’s full of happiness. I was reminded of the solo piano music of Spanish composer, Federico Mompou. And Richard Gallen is amazing!
This is entrancing music, played by a world-class artist, and perfectly recorded.
HRAudio.net and NativeDSD Blog Review
The long and the short of it is that in this kind of repertoire Ricardo Gallén is the reference to which others will have to be judged. Compulsory stuff, recorded in the fine acoustic of the Auditorio de San Francisco, Avila, Spain, and engineered to perfection by Gonzalo Noqué in an original immersive 7.0.4 DSD 256 recording.
Positive Feedback
Gallén’s performances are stunning—deeply immersive, filled with color, technically brilliant.
