WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING

Billboard Classical Top Ten (#6)

“Soprano Camille Zamora, an American singer with Spanish roots and close ties with Mexico (she grew up dividing her time between her native Texas and Mexico City) has dedicated her career to the interpretation of genres ranging from the Baroque to the contemporary, inclusive of traditional folk song and zarzuela. Never renouncing her classic style and accent, Zamora conveys passion, understanding, and deep engagement with her texts, communicating the spirit inherent in each piece with clear, authentic tone that is never forced. This is the case even in the arabesques and cante jondo of her traditional Andalusian songs such as ‘Jaeneras,’ ‘Playera,’ ‘Hincarse de rodillas,’ ‘Sevillanas,’ ‘Todos las mañanitas,’ and the moving ‘Arrorró, my child, sleep,’ a traditional song from the Canary Islands.”
– Ramón Jacques, Pro Opera

“Throughout this impeccably engineered album, the two artists make magic with their honest, straightforward approach. With Zamora’s perfect diction in Castilian, Catalan, Gallego and Basque, and a supple, clear voice perfectly suited to this music, and Duruöz’s elegantly idiomatic playing, the two artists deliver musical gems.”
– Rafael de Acha, Music Notes
