Daniel Sañez - What I Do On Sundays (2024)

Writes Robert Delcamp in the September/October issue of American Record Guide:
. . . I was completely absorbed by and engaged with Sanez’s colorful, inventive, virtuosic, and stunning creations. . . . I especially liked the 4 movements of the Flute Suite, which could easily be mistaken for an unknown piece by Maurice Duruflé. . . . The variety of color and sheer beauty of the stops is astonishing . . . A gorgeous recording. See the complete review at the bottom of this page.

Musical improvisation is composing and playing music simultaneously and spontaneously — at the spur of the moment. There is no score. The musician’s imagination, talent, skill, and musical knowledge guide the mind and fingers. Daniel Sáñez indulged his imagination for about 90 minutes on July 20, 2023, and for about 30 minutes on March 19, 2024. He created entirely new music, spontaneously, much as he does in playing for Mass and other liturgies at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Richmond, Virginia.
