Daniel Pardo

“Throughout Ese Momento, his flute sings with a voice that seems almost human in its expressiveness. Whether he’s navigating the gentle sway of a ballad or soaring through more vibrant passages, Pardo’s technical mastery and heartfelt phrasing make every track on this album a highlight. ”

— The Flute View

“Here is a lovely, relaxing, emotional projection of boleros and the culture that infuses them. I love each tune that unfolds, but I’m particularly taken by “Sabor A Mi” with the sweeping strings of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and the percussion sounding like horse hooves against cobblestone. Pardo’s flute dances above the beautiful arrangement like a wild bird. ”

Oh, (Wo)man! What a lush and lovely recording! Beautiful arrangements and muy simpatico ensemble support. My first blush "hit pick" focus track suggestions are tracks #4, #6, #7, and #10... with second tier goodies #1, #3, and #9. I'm particularly fond of Daniel's take on Chucho's tribute to his father, "Bebo". Wonderful Afro-Cuban feel on this one. And "Besame Mucho" brings fresh inspiration and energy to a much-recorded classic.
