«His [Rodrigo’s] daughter tells that Sara Marianovich played this music for him and received his imprimateur. Understandably so, as she is very sensitive to its stylistic changes. In her hands, the innocent early Suite of 1923 has just the right simplicity, and she also catches the winning charm of the Pastoral (1936), a Siciliana and two delicate Berceuses, while the Preludio al gallo mañanero glitters in the manner of Debussy.
[…] Rodrigo could hardly have a more persuasive advocate, and one must hope that other pianists will decide to explore such rewarding repertoire. Meanwhile, this very naturally recorded Sony set can be highly recommended. »
Ivan March (Gramophone Magazine)
«Marianovich – who knew the composer during his last years – shows from the outset that she has the right qualities: an exquisite sense of shape and an unhurried coolness, notes dropping from her fingers like raindrops, each one weighed and assessed. Her survey highlights the unexpected harmonic kinship of the young Rodrigo and Messiaen and the increasing irruption of Spanish indigenous music into Rodrigo’s writing. All in all, much to savour. »
Christopher Wood (BBC Music Magazine)
«El trabajo de Sara Marianovich como intérprete de Rodrigo es intachable, en plena identificación con la obra, a la que sirve y comunica.»
Juan Carlos Olite (Revista Ritmo)
«Al rigor de la muestra se suma, sobre todo, la penetración lograda por Sara Marianovich en el piano de Rodrigo, […] En la práctica, Rodrigo se sumaba a la corriente del neobarroquismo y del neoclasicismo, característica de su tiempo. Un mensaje que nos llega en este registro con toda su claridad, limpieza y pureza del sonido. […] una sencillez que transmiten fielmente las versiones de Sara Marianovich. »
Carlos José Costas (Revista Melómano)
«Sara Marianovich is a superb instrumentalist and excellent musician. Her musical qualities and her expertise make her an ideal choice as a pedagogue to help the younger generation to develop both artistically and spiritually.»
Maestro Zubin Mehta
«The young pianist Sara Marianovich, who knew the composer [Rodrigo] well, has achieved quite a tour de force in this complete recording. Her playing is attentive and affectionate, always true to the intimacy and sincerity of his spirit.»
Jessica Duchen (Classic FM)
« Again, the bulk of Rodrigo’s piano music consists in short pieces of great charm never outstaying their welcome, and there is much to enjoy in this complete recording of his piano music.
Sara Marianovich has a long and close association with Rodrigo’s piano music so that her readings obviously have the composer’s nil obstat. In any case, she plays beautifully throughout and this release is a delight from first to last, and should appeal to those who keep asking: "Aranjuez, well, yes, but what else? " Here is part of the answer. »
Hubert Culot (Musicweb)
«Las versiones de la joven pianista Sara Marianovich denotan un profundo conocimiento de la personalidad y de la obra del gran maestro valenciano. Música exquisita interpretada con exquisitez, pero vitalmente y sin ensimismamiento ni preciosismo. Como debe ser.»
