“Wishing to bring together mystic poetry by San Juan de la Cruz and flamenco, Rojo gives his work a structure whose formal architecture relies upon an introduction and three movements in which he respectively evokes three palos [flamenco styles]: taranta, bulería, and seguiriya. The subtle and stylized allusions follow each other without any solution of continuity, penetrated by microtonal melodic traces from the strings which recall the hurting song by Morente and confers a mysterious, nocturnal, and deeply personal atmosphere to the work in its deliberate repetitiveness.”

Juan Carlos Garvayo
