Sentimiento Latino

"Flórez goes to the heart with a voice of thrilling purity - despite those songs...Every tenor worth his salt seems to have a weakness for a set of what might be seen as vulgar songs. Domingo has his zarzuela, Alagna his recent foray into the repertoire of Luis Mariano and now Flórez his Latin folksongs. No insult intended, it's very enjoyable and pretty forgettable - but vocally dazzling."
(Editor's Choice Gramophone October 2006)
