Concerts Reviews

B. Domingo - Ultima Hora Palma di Maiorca

«Felix Ayo confirmed ‘live’ what we already knew through his records; that he is a soloist blessed with practically every desirable virtue. To play Mozart as Ayo did is, for the audience, to touch the celestial sphere of the sublime...»

O Globo, Rio de Janeiro

«Musically and technically we continue to admire the rays of light created by the Guadagnini of Felix Ayo, peer to Casals, Zabaleta and Segovia.»

M. R., Bordeaux

«“It is impossible to do better, to play better, to be so brilliant, so clear, so sensitive, so virtuoso and with total respect of the spirit of the music. My great admiration for this splendid violinist, virtuoso of the first order.»
