Positive Feedback
Here is another recently released album from Eudora Records that I commend to you wholeheartedly. I was not sure what to expect when I first queued thus up for a listen, but I found myself completely captivated. Soprano Raquel Lojendio is a gifted songstress. She has a lovely high pure voice with wonderfully expressive skill in the shaping of words and phrases—she is simply captivating. Her accompanist, pianist Irene Alfageme, is just perfect. Two outstanding artists!
As I sat listening to this music, completely entranced, I finally realized that I didn’t understand a word being sung. And it didn’t matter. Raquel Lojendio’s expressive voice, her sculpting of phrases, was music in itself. I’m sure a translation of the songs would further enhance my appreciation, but I am so far beyond a need for that.
I’ve now listened multiple times to this album, and my enjoyment continues unabated. Lojendio and Alfageme just carry me away.
And the sound quality of Raquel Lojendio’s voice as Eudora’s Gonzalo Noqué has captured here is just about as perfect a capture of voice as any I know. The Pure DSD sonics are so transparent, so pure, so delicate, I find it hard to describe adequately the experience of listening to this recording. For those who value utter naturalness in their recordings, and who value the similitude of having the performers right in the room with you, with nothing between you and them, this recording will be a treasured listening experience. It is for me.
Most highly recommended!
