« This French guy is just an amazing genius. He was deeply inspired by the project from the very beginning. The result of his work exceeded my expectations, which were huge in the first place. He managed to include the bandoneon around a musical world with many other elements. The music of this piece is at times deeply emotional and also gets to be very mystical in a perfect balance ».
