PRESS
"He has maintained technical qualities that I recognized in him from the very first day: balance, a sense of form and proportion, and an exquisite rigor in capturing his discursive intentions, which he is always conscious of regardless of the path he takes or explores to develop them."
"I have been listening to Lázaro for some time and Aparición de San Sebastián seems to me to be very objective in its architectural concept, as well as very clear and direct in its message and discursive intentions. I have no doubt that it will be a pillar of his work when it is collected and studied in its entirety in a few decades."
"The concert begins with a work by Mexican composer Aquiles Lázaro, Chimalli. 'A piece inspired by a sculpture, it is a sound representation of what he considers that this sculpture transmits to him', explained Ludwig Carrasco, conductor of the orchestra."
"Cumbia Triste Latina was written in 2017 and conveys the current reality in Mexico City: misery, loneliness and marginalization in a very fresh language. The work mixes Lázaro's personal language with rhythmic patterns typical of cumbia."
