International Review
Excerpts
"Maestro Radford
is a virtuoso of the
guitar"
Diario Latino - San
Salvador
"The emotional
transformation evoked by Ronald Radford was so complete that a
Gypsy dancer in the audience jumped on the stage to accompany
the artist!"
Más Noticias - Monterrey,
Mexico
An absolutely
extraordinary event! He received tremendous applause from
the grateful audience in the Poli forum Cultural
Sequeiros. The grace and quality of his interpretations
are equal to those on any Flamenco stage in Madrid,
Seville or Andalucía. Radford interpretations are second
to none. The artist received excited applause which
brought him back to the stage time after time for more
encores. He was given a final rousing ovation, as many
bid him farewell with emotional Ole’s!
El Universal - Mexico
City
"Magnificent guitarist,
an overflow crowd gave a resounding ovation for the great
performance."
La Estrella De
Panama
"Radford's performance
was a roaring success. The concert drew a record breaking crowd
which overflowed into the balconies and corridors. This gringo
Flamenco artist, in spite of the prejudice regarding his
nationality (a gringo playing Flamenco?), handles this art form
indeed quite brilliantly and his virtuosity at the highest
degree of consecration. We had a marvelous experience listening
to this Flamenco artist who, as the Gypsies say, expresses much
duende in his ability to summon forth from the instrument all
of the possibilities it is capable of, and to weave the spell
which Flamenco evokes, by its great power to captivate the
audience."
La Hora -
Guatemala
"It's a special kind of
music - Flamenco - and the guitar is a special kind of
instrument, at least in the hands of Ron Radford. It has taken
years for Radford to master the complex rhythms of Flamenco,
but more important than the timing, he has duende the Spanish
equivalent of 'soul'."
Guidepost - Madrid,
Spain
"Not only was his concert
a tremendous success, but he has given inspiration to
many."
Arc-En-Ciel - Geneva,
Switzerland
"The famous Flamenco
guitarist Ronald Radford presented a brilliant concert last
night in the auditorium of the National University which was
enthusiastically applauded."
Diario El Dia -
Honduras
"Ronald Radford,
extraordinary performer of Flamenco music, was a sensational
revelation. He deeply moved an appreciative audience who gave a
standing ovation for his performance. He fully justified the
world-wide fame which has preceded him."
Momento - Chihuahua,
Mexico
"Ronald Radford's
Flamenco guitar concert was a resounding success. The overflow
crowd was completely delighted with Radford's masterly
performance of Spanish music, particularly Andalucía. A North
American artist, a Japanese guitar, some Spanish selections:
with these extraordinary elements admirably blended, the
atmosphere of the concert hall became flamenco, as it rarely
does, and the emotion reached a climax. The joy of the audience
welled forth in repeated Ole’s, climbing higher and higher in
crescendo."
Tribuna De Monterrey -
Monterrey, Mexico
"Ronald Radford, North
American guitarist, presented a concert of Flamenco music last
Friday in the auditorium of the Institute Guatemalteco
Americano before an overflowing throng who gave ovation after
ovation for his brilliant performance."
Crónica Grafica -
Guatemala
"One expects that a
Flamenco recital would be given by an Andalucía, or at least a
Spaniard. But when it is done by a North American, and he
presents it as if he were a native of Andalucía, one is
surprised! Ronald Radford surprised us with his masterly
interpretations."
El Sol De Mexico - Mexico
City
"Ronald Radford presented
a magnificent concert Wednesday evening under the auspices of
the Residencia Universitaria Pan Americana and the United
States Embassy. He was given a prolonged ovation."
Novedades, Mexico
City
"Ronald Radford delighted
the public with a brilliant performance. His naturalness, his
sensitivity of execution and his full identification with the
instrument, drew from his guitar fiery, deep, sweet and
caressing melodies, conveying these feelings to those who had
the opportunity to hear him."
El Heraldo, Chihuahua,
Mexico
