“… Salgado is a very fine composer who deserves much wider exposure, and the Kansas Virtuosi have done the music world a great service by recording these works…”

“… it’s the Viola Sonata (1973) that’s the most immediately and consistently attractive here. Salgado is at his most charming in this piquant and playfully syncopated score, and I imagine that once viola players discover it, it will start to appear on recitals and recordings…”

“Committed readings make the case for an Ecuadorian musical polymath”

“… The Viola Sonata’s folk inflections give it rhythmic energy, while Selene uses flute, oboe and horn to evoke the wonder of the Moon landings. Beautiful performances in crystal-clear sound.” ****

“… The performance of these pieces has been undertaken by the Kansas Virtuosi, faculty and students of the School of Music at the University of Kansas. They know how to present the music vividly and colorfully with verve and skill in such a way that its idiosyncrasies are vividly exhibited. At the same time, the technique shows them so present and yet not imposing that the interpretations reflect the joie de vivre of the music and also the enthusiasm of the musicians in performing it, taking the listeners along the way to Salgado.” ****
