...Naranjo builds his story from the identification with an ambitious score of overturning a whole life, but giving space to one's own imagination, as it should be.

...Perfect in efficiency and vigour, he effectively tackled the always impossible \u2018passage of octaves\u2019 at the end. The audience's reaction to his mastery and the future of success that awaits him was thunderous. <\/em><\/span>(Canarias7, Cayetano S\u00e1nchez).<\/span><\/p>
