“Brahms’ first Sonata was played with certainty. Having an ample and mellow sound and using
a certain technique in addition to an admirable artistic sense the clarinettist […] showed
aptitudes for a successful career. The young pianist exhibited assurance, a good grip on the
keyboard and a good knowledge of the play. And taking into account the considerable scope of
the play, he can be forecasted as a brilliant instrumentalist.»

Juan Carlos Montero – Diario La Nación.

“… Marina López delighted us in an exemplary handling of sound in addition to a phrasing combined with a notable breathing technique… Eduardo Waisbein led the piano part in an impeccable way; his digital clarity is outstanding. He does not play routine intervals and he is always attentive to the ensemble. His piano sound is categorical like on stage”…

… two works with a lot of jazzy atmosphere, humor and good music,… in a word, a whole series of diverse situations, more serious, more joyous, etc. but always in good taste and with elegant interpretations.
