RECORDINGS
SENSE
SENSE is my second album: a deeply personal and collaborative project featuring ten world premieres by some of the most influential composers of our time.
Among them is Georges Aperghis’s Don Quijote, a work written specifically for this project and for my instrument, born from our collaboration in Paris.
The album takes its title from Sense by Kaija Saariaho, the last solo violin work she composed. I had the profound privilege of making its first-ever discographic recording.
The album also includes previously unrecorded works by Pulitzer Prize-winning Cuban composer Tania León, as well as music by Gabriel Erkoreka and José Manuel López López, both recipients of Spain’s National Prize for Music.
Manuel Martínez Burgos and Óscar Colomina also wrote new works specifically for this album and project.
SENSE is a journey of encounters, discovery and creation—giving these works their first recorded memory.

ORIGINS
Works for solo Violin
This album has been nominated for the Spanish Academy of Music Awards as best instrumental album in 2024.
With this ambitious production, which the label is distributing internationally, Veintimilla takes on works that "help to broaden the repertoire of this instrument". Two of them are world premieres she entrusted to Muñiz and Marianelli; Coll's has been recorded the first time in its entirety; and Ysaÿe’s for the second time.
The performer emphasises that the album “is an exercise in the utmost sincerity, courage, strength, and sometimes vulnerability, in which I have explored all kinds of emotions and sounds.” Indeed, “each of the works defies the technical and musical boundaries of the violin”
Líquido - Deco Ensemble
Deco Ensemble has been praised as ‘one of the UK's foremost tango quintets’ by The Daily Telegraph.
‘This group brings together the ideal traits of the creative performer: knowledge of the score, awareness of rules and conventions, and brilliance at their instruments’, writes composer Gustavo Beytelmann, a close friend and collaborator of Astor Piazzolla. ‘Their broad colour palette bears witness to the richness of their imagination’
‘Líquido’ encapsulates the fluidity with which this album's twelve carefully chosen pieces combine Argentinian tango influences with classical and jazz.
