From a concert review in El Castellano: "Already at the age of seven years he was a prodigy who caused a real sensation, and at the age of fourteen years, the Press declared him 'The new Anton Rubinstein' and 'a pianist who always connects with the public.' I do not need to add any qualification more or other phrase to these lines which I am quoting. They afford a concise but a very true reflection of the merit of the artist to whom we were lucky enough to listen … at the age of twenty-five years, his triumphal career has given more technique, more experience, exquisite and romantic feeling, a supreme conception of musical natures, and the most beautiful expression."
