“Cortizo’s style differs considerably from that of other authors, with a basically tonal language free of prejudices when it comes to developing melodic phrases that Tarrats knows how to exploit. The percussion accompaniment, magnificently performed by its author, is of considerable richness and imagination, flirting with pop and groovy elements that recall the style of a composer like Rosalía.”
Antoni Colomer, Ópera Actual
