I admired your fine playing and attractive sound, as well as becoming acquainted with works I did not know.  I especially enjoyed the pieces by Polo and Grignon, the latter evoking sounds, I thought, of some of Turina's canciones.  I will deposit the CD in the Primrose International Viola Archive. Thank you, David Dalton.

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed playing with you in Gainesville. It was a supreme musical pleasure to work with you, you are an artist of the first rank and your interpretation of the Turina far surpassed any of the recordings I have heard.

“Is a privilege that Luis Magín played one of my pieces, it becomes his. All that he plays he makes it good; like the king who whatever touched turned into gold, but he has not soul. To Luis Magín not; the soul is over the gold. I write these lines after hearing his recording of Spanish music. He is between the greatest, not a promise, but a reality”

Francisco Fleta Polo (Composer and ex- professor of viola at CSMB)

“The sound of Luis Magín, especially in the lower strings is among the most beautiful than I have been able to listen ever in a recorded violist. All his performances are really exceptional and brilliant”

Jesse Levine (Professor of viola, Yale School of Music)

“Insurmountable technique and musicality in the soloist Luis Magín, under a masterful baton”

Ritmo - October 2006

“Is one of the most promising Spanish violists. The music he plays becomes proud, thanks to his deep and huge sound together with a flexible phrasing”

The Strad Magazine - September 2005

“Has a gorgeous velvet sound and sings with singular emotion”

Musicalia – March 2002

“Headdress with deep intensity and feeling, expressive sound and great technical command”

La voz de Asturias – April 2001

“A violist of a clarified dynamic range and expressive vibrato”

El Ideal Gallego – November 1999
