Clelia Iruzun

“Where keyboard virtuosity is called for she is dependably brilliant”
GRAMOPHONE, UK

“Clélia Iruzun has technique to burn and a strong temperament. I particularly enjoyed the 3 Argentinian Dances and Milonga by Alberto Ginastera. This well played, very well recorded disc fills a number of minor gaps in the recorded piano repertoire.”
AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, USA

“This is a hugely enjoyable disc played with flair, invigorating rhythmic élan and a rich palette of colours by Brazilian-born Miss Iruzun. I never knew you could do so much with a tango.”
CLASSIC FM MAGAZINE, UK

“Coming from Rio de Janeiro inevitably puts this music in her blood and the 24 Latin American Dances are little gems, played with infectious enthusiasm.
The choice of both pieces and composers ensure that there is plenty of variety of mood, with sultry melodies, such as Francisco Mignone’s Tango juxtaposed by Marlos Nobre’s spiky Frevo and Alberto Ginastera hypnotic Milonga. The two dances in enrico Granados’ A La Cubana and Ginastera’s three Argentinian Dances end this thoroughly enjoyable dip into the Latin American world and tempted me to start all over again!”
MUSICAL OPINION, UK

"Note how exciting the Brejeiro by Nazareth is played. The often performed tango has here an incomparable interpretation...Clélia Iruzun closes the CD with the Argentinian Alberto Ginastera's Three Dances. Such an achievement in form and idea brought by this young Brazilian pianist makes it a golden close. The listener has here a first class recording. At the same time an extremely pleasant CD and a document of the Latin American and Caribean cultures."
