Reviews

“A serene performance on a Dammann guitar, whose clarity of timbre and strength would have interested Scarlatti himself, as would the gallant grace of the phrases, articulations, and the interplay of intensities on such a transparent instrument".
"Marcos Díaz soars with the music of Scarlatti and converses with him intelligently".

Diverdi, Spain.

"…Marcos Díaz’s handling of the different styles is impressive."

Classical Guitar, England
Tim Panting

"His performance of Rodrigo`s Invocación y Danza is rife with coloristic contrasts and tasteful rubato. Again, his vast dynamic range contradicts the instrument’s reputation, yielding depth and intensity… the playing is of the highest caliber…"

"Marcos Díaz’s version is brilliant allowing us to enjoy a ’molto cantabile’ Bach, full of sonority …just beautiful."

Amadeus, Spain.

"Being true to the style and spirit of the work is of the utmost importance, but also the phrasing, the dynamics finding just the right expression….Marcos Díaz has consistently taken into account all these different aspect."

Scherzo, Spain.

"…A performance of Scarlatti on guitar that manages to sound sprightly, poignant and intricate without ever becoming exhausting is the product of a player fully on top of his brief".

Classical Guitar, England.

"…with the lights of his fine sensitivity and more than exceeded technique, Marcos Díaz enlightens the shades of feeling with rich colours."

Diverdi, Spain.
Javier Suárez Pajares.

"Marcos Díaz convinces in this varied recital, so demanding technically as artistically."

Amadeus, Spain.

"…Díaz shows great skill and moves with amazing elegance between the harmony and the counterpoint of John Dowland`s work, obtaining an excellent result."

Il Fronimo, Italy.
Francesco Biraghi.

"Díaz strives for a clear and transparent musical restitution, full of sonority, which shows that the guitar must not feel any complexes when confronted with such an imposing repertoire."

12 Notas, Spain.

"But what matters most is that Díaz turns in what can only be described as a superb performance. There are no clever gimmicks, just strong and assured interpretations that let each movement speak for itself. Doubtless there are other guitarists with the capacity to produce something similar, but at this moment I can’t think of any version I’d rather hear."

Classical Guitar, England.
Paul Fowles.

"His work on musical arrangements show us a guitarist of subtle taste and seriousness, who understands and knows perfectly how to transmit Bach’s music."
