Pascual's art reveals exceptionally fine, intricately skilled expression. And he doesn't lose the Spanish signatures of passion. Working his guitar with intricate fingering through a variety of romantic and melodic song tinged works, Pascual weaved his nuances into the elegant setting of Max of Eastman Place. Skilled musical portraits, done by a masterful artist, with just the right combination of well-honed fingering, resonating strength, and absorbing, dramatic silences. -Scene4 Magazine It was wonderful,
one of the festival’s
finest concerts so far.
"One
of the hottest flamenco guitarists to emerge
in recent years" "...these
guys rocked...when the musicians engaged in impassioned crossfire,
the heat index broke all records." - The Village Voice
The Hub is hardly the epicenter of the flamenco guitar world. So who could have guessed that the seven passionate original compositions on Jonathan "Juanito" Pascual's 2002 debut album, Cosas en Comun, would make his its rising star? In addition to a fall tour that brings the New England Conservatory grad to the Museum of Fine Arts on November 4, Pascual debuted a chamber opera at Tanglewood that he's taking on to Lincoln Center and the Los Angeles Philharmonic; a new guitar concerto is also in the works.
