Reviews
“One of the great successes of Numen Nights is that it predisposes the listener to another kind of listening. The audience enters into communion with a soloist who shares his feelings through his instrument, in an atmosphere of intimacy and tranquillity. At the end of the recital, Naira Perdu interviews the guest, with a series of questions that are as sweet as they are intentional, which violate the disciplinary armour of the artist, revealing the most personal side of the musicians who, deep down, are human beings with the same passions as you and me”.
Víctor Navarro – Diario de Almería, 28.06.21
“Numen is a marvel, a musical jewel, because of the care and attention to detail. And it is also so in the poetic, artistic and overall beauty”.
Pedro Olivares Galvañ · Diario La Verdad, 17.06.21
“Numen surprises. It is impossible to imagine beforehand what is going to happen. Pure creativity, attention to detail, it is a way of seeing the world. Another way of experiencing a concert. With Numen we enter the world of the artist, we share his vision but also the doubts and anxieties that all creation entails”.
Pilar Valero Abril · Concert pianist
