"[...] About conductor Natalia Salinas, it must be said that she made a very good impression due to the confidence and clarity with which she translated three complex and difficult works. As a result of a careful preparation, her handling of levels was irreproachable, as well as her conceptual precision, without prejudice of some too vigorous volumes, stripped of recondite interrogations in the execution of "Orion".​
