"La dextérité et la subtilité du jeu des deux pianistes ont été grandioses...Pia Bose et Antonio Pastor semblent en parfaite osmose et se complètent idéalement. Sur le plan technique, leur extrême précision et leur subtile dextérité - leurs mains se croisant et se superposant sans jamais se gêner - sont simplement fascinants. Leur jeu à la fois puissant et subtil permet d'exprimer à merveille les différentes facettes du tempérament ibérique."
