“This has to be one of the most thrilling performances of the piece I’ve ever heard. The dramatic intensity of it, a product of Gómez-Tagle’s electrifying speed and technical prowess, enhanced by an absolutely killer recording, sounds positively possessed…This is a Liszt Sonata no collection should be without“.
Jerry Dubins, Fanfare Magazin, USA. January 2019
