 ●Música de Iberoamérica en el Pi

Reviewer:  JORGE DE PERSIA - 30/01/2005  -LA VANGUARDIA
Abrió el programa el Madrigal de Xavier Montsalvatge sobre El cant des ocells con la participación de la soprano Patricia Caicedo que cantó con seguridad y buen estilo.

● Dulce voz 

Reviewer:  Luis Alfonso Bes music Critic from El Heraldo de Aragón, 17 de Octubre del 2004

 La soprano colombiana Patricia Caicedo, que cuenta entre sus maestros a Alfredo Kraus, dio ayer un recital de canción del arte latinoamericana en la Sala Luís Galve del Auditorio bien acompañada al piano por Eugenia Gassull.  Este atractivo recital “A mi ciudad nativa” cargado de delicadeza y sentimiento, es un eslabón a añadir a la variada cadena que esta siendo la programación del pilar de este año.

…La soprano puso alma y corazón en los cantos de su tierra, ….la soprano mostró una voz muy adecuada para este tipo de música capaz de transmitir mucho sentimiento sin necesidad de grandes veleidades vocales.

….con su voz dulce y delicada, Patricia Caicedo hizo pasar un rato muy agradable al publico que le aplaudió largamente consiguiendo la interpretación fuera de programa de la canción “Pájaro Azul”.

● Patricia Caicedo is one of those few humble geniuses that resurrect one's faith

Reviewer: Jeffrey Beringer – Music Fan
Patricia Caicedo is one of those few humble geniuses that resurrect one's faith in people and art by the mere purity of their love for what they do. Patricia is an unbelievably talented soprano singer who has resurrected a little known style of Latin American music, the nineteenth century 'Lied' or 'Art Song' and brought to it to new acclaim. The stunning mixture of melody, poetry and piano in her collection left me breathless the first time I encountered it, and I was shocked that when I sent her a fan e-letter, she responded to me personally! The only thing more impressive than her passion for her work is her graciousness and sincerity. The music in her collection will bring you back to the time when quality and talent were more important than image and marketing campaigns. This music is a true treat, especially for those with an ear for nuance and fine detail.

● Wonderful CD and the nicest person!

Reviewer: Amy Darden - Singer
This CD is a classic. Patricia has a clear pure voice, which sounds wonderful on all of these songs. She puts so much emotion into the songs. She visited the University of South Florida, where I had a changed to meet her. She is the sweetest person. She sang many of these songs for her recital. I highly recommend this CD. Her voice is not like most classical singers. Her vibrato doesn't control her voice, and it shines. Get it! If she ever comes to your town, do yourself a favor and go see her. She's worth it

 ● I can't wait for her next release!

Reviewer: Paxton Helms – music fan
I am a long-time classical music fan who had just a passing acquaintance with the Latin American art songs before I purchased this CD. Suffice it to say that I was enchanted by both the song selection and Patricia Caicedo's rich and supple voice. I can't wait for her next release! Although the Latin American art song genre tends to treat fatalistic and nostalgic themes (Brazilians might call it "saudade") there are enough vivacious melodies like "Bonita Rama de Sauce" to keep things from bogging down. The total effect is balanced and fun. Of course, the song selection would not get very far at all without the incredible voice of Patricia Caicedo. Taking advantage of her marvelous range and expressiveness, she simply doesn't miss as she captures the emotional essence of every song. I was transported and wish there were more CDs to recommend this CD with!

 ●Art Songs of Latin America a beatiful "new" repertoire!

Reviewer: William Gregory - The Midwest Ursine 
Lied is such a funny little art form, it's delicate, quiet, and poetic, it's definitely an acquired taste and most importantly, it's harder than shit to sing. With that said, lied, or art songs, is one of my favorite genres in classical music. With its origins stemming from Germany in the 1800's, lieder became the perfect marriage between poetry and music. But the art song idiom hardly rested in the vaults of our cousins across that great big pond. Latin American lied has always taken back seat to the jolting percussion and rhythms of Caribbean sounds, bandoneons and mariachi bands, but quietly in the corner sat the Latin American art song, waiting to be re-discovered. This is not an artist's first foray into this territory, Victoria De Los Angeles, Teresa Berganza and Alfredo Krauss have paved the way long before Ms. Caicedo came along. Ms. Caicedo makes them proud through this recording that reveals nuance and appreciation for an undervalued art form that deserves more recognition than it gets. The CD opens with "Cuatro Canciones Coloniales" (Four Colonial songs), a beautiful set of songs set by Carlos Guastavino that reminds me of Reynaldo Hahn and the French school of lieder. These lovely pieces are wistful and sorrowful and when Ms. Caicedo sings "Prestame tu panuelito", (Let me borrow you little handkerchief so that I may dry my eyes...), she sings these notes with the somberness of a heart broken lover that has lost everything. These four songs are my favorites on this recording. "Chacacera" is a fanciful, frenzied tour de force that ends all too soon, showing off Ms. Caicedo's versatility. The evergreen "Estrellita", by Manuel Ponce, is included in this recording and I must say that its familiarity does not take away from the fine job performed by Ms. Caicedo. Mr. Pau Casan adds his touch of refinement and truly great accompaniment on the piano. This recording is a fine addition to any person that considers themselves a true connoisseur of lieder. Highly recommended. Available through cdbaby.com

● Wonderful teacher!

Reviewer: Jessica Camp – Singer

My name is Jessica and I sang on a master class that was conducted by Ms. Caicedo at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. I really enjoyed being coached by Ms. Caicedo and learned a great deal from such a wonderful teacher!

 The piece that I performed on her master class was entitled "Algun Dia" by Jaime Leon. I absolutely LOVE Leon's music and I have searched everywhere for an anthology of Spanish songs or a book of Leon's pieces, but I have not been able to find "Algún Día" anywhere!  For some reason, I don't think that it is published in the United States.
 Could someone please help me? Thank you very much.   Buenos Dias!        Sincerely, Jessica Camp

 ● The fabulous Latin American repertoire that you so effectively champion.

Reviewer: Dr. Craig Russell  Musicologist and Guitar player, professor at CALPOLY

It sounds like you remain very active and are successful in furthering the fabulous Latin American repertoire that you so effectively champion.

● She was very effective as a clinician.

Dr. Warren Jaworski  - Professor of Voice at University of South Florida

Last year I was able to bring Dr Caicedo to USF to do a workshop with the voice students of USF on some of these art songs.  She was very effective as a clinician in helping students understand the style of the songs from the different countries but also was an expert in assisting the the various dialects as well.  She has a very pleasing personality that all felt very comfortable working with during the four days she was on campus.  She concluded her work with a recital of some of her research collection.  Since this time she has been very active in Spain, South America and Mexico lecturing and performing these works that she has researched.  In January of 2005 she will publish a book of 50 songs that she has put together with English translations.

 ●Wonderful repertoire !

 Reviewer: Jennie Boyce - singer
Dear Ms Caicedo,  I am writing to tell you how much I am enjoying your CD, and to thank you for introducing me to a rich and wonderful repertoire. You are  right, the Latin American Art Song is sadly under-represented on the concert platform, so you are doing a grand service to us all by bringing
 it to our attention !
