“Daniel Huertas, with absolute metrical precision, has managed to strike a very pertinent balance between the serenity and delicacy that pervades most of the work and an outburst of individual energies and harmonic-noise counterpoints worthy of an ensemble with much more experience playing together.”- Paco Yañez, Scherzo.
"Rarely performed in its entirety, … explosante-fixe… (1993) is then presented in excerpts. (…) Today's line-up is a mix of seasoned musicians (Ensemble intercontemporain) and representatives of the younger generation (Ensemble Next, from the Paris Conservatoire), conducted with conviction by Daniel Huertas. As one might say of the interpretation of the classical repertoire, the future is assured." - Pierre Gervasoni, Le Monde.
