The Latin Rites is a delightful collection of New World masterpieces that form a diverse showcase of the skillful use of the symphonic orchestra in the passionate interpretation of these composers, all born — with the exception of Leonard Bernstein — south of the Rio Grande. This album feels like a hallucinatory flight. Pure magical realism on the wings of the most exquisite Latin American symphonism, I would say. Is it, or is it not?” – Paquito D’Rivera.

“We are witnessing a new display of the interpretative, artistic, and human genius of Maestro Josep Vicent. I say human because the principal conductor, ideologue, and ultimately creator of ADDA Simfònica is a humanist and intellectual who spreads his knowledge over a radius of many kilometers. This new CD by ADDA Simfònica is the result of the young but fruitful collaboration with ARIA Classics, a label led by its main producer, Fernando Arias, with whom he already produced for Warner the recording of Chick Corea’s music, an album nominated for the Latin Grammy, the American Grammy, and also nominated and awarded by the Spanish Music Academy” – Alfonso Carraté, Director of MELÓMANO.

“Josep Vicent, conductor, musical director…is the creator of these fantastic projects…setting new paths towards the rich evolution of Spanish symphonic music” – Mas Jazz Digital
