Rafael de Acha previews and reviews Cecilia Duarte’s Reencuentros recording on All About the Arts:

“Cecilia Duarte gives renewed life to a dozen Latin American songs… the profound meditation on the end of life Alfonsina y el Mar, arranged by David Scanlon for his string bass as the sole accompaniment to Duarte in a posthumous homage to the Argentine poetess Alfonsina Storni, follow each other in impressive succession evidencing Cecilia Duarte’s beautiful voice and her impeccably musical vocalism. … Cecilia Duarte’s unaccompanied singing is paired with a neatly engineered multiple overlay of her voice carrying several parts in perfect blend. The terrific multi-instrumentalists William Gálvez, Israel Alcalá, Jesus Pacheco, and Vincent Pequeño provide Cecilia Duarte with the ideal support. Produced by Cecilia Duarte and Blanton Alspaugh, recorded and mixed by Andrew Bradley, Reencuentros is an impassioned salute to the varied art of Latin American song sung by a singularly gifted artist.”
