Thibaut Garcia impressed with his expressive interpretation of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, captivating the audience with technically brilliant performances that transported them to a dreamlike musical landscape. To conclude, Garcia brought the house down with a humorous tango encore, La Cumparsita by Matos Rodriguez.

The concert offered a diverse blend of rhythmic, technically demanding, and emotional moments, masterfully delivered by the musicians.

"Garcia played with such clarity, technical brilliance, and natural expressiveness that there was no competitive clash between the two tonal poles, but rather a dialogue of equals."

"The beautifully melancholic second movement was performed with deep intimacy, featuring exquisite philharmonic solos and an authentically reflective, yet never overly sentimental, plucked flamenco guitar."
