“...Miquel Rodrigo was a revelation as a conductor; He used all means possible, made an unconstrained but effective appearance and received a standing ovation after his brilliant performance”.
Eduardo López Chavarri
Diario Las Provincias, Valencia (España)
A MAESTRO TO BE VINDICATED! Miquel Rodrigo is undoubtedly a master to be vindicated. In this concert hall, he has shown us signs of a musical talent that understands little of stylistic limitations and more of deep work together with a musical intuition that is rarely seen. He recently accompanied the Spanish pop group 'Los Secretos' on their symphonic tour to resounding success. Just a few days later, he moved on to performing Stravinsky's music, which was completely different. He also performed the Russian's music in a mythical version of The Rite of Spring a few years ago with this same orchestra and in this same cycle. Bravo to maestro Miguel Rodrigo! We are saying this because others have been too quiet about it.

“The Spaniard radiated confidence. He had the orchestra on the palm of his hands from the beginning till the end, with his clear and very rhythmically precise gestures he conducted the orchestra on its way to give a brilliant performance”.
Jos Frusch
Limburgs Dagblad, Maastricht (The Netherlands)
