“(…) He achieved a great line of nuance and deepness very well measured, taking very good care of the sonorous balance that not many times even more experienced batons can dominate.”
Diario de Mallorca. November 12th 1995
“Thanks to the confidence we could find in the conducting and the musical value that added a deep and felt performance of Fernando Marina, we were able to enjoy a great concert”
El Punt. July 16th 1996
“(…) In both pieces. In Barcelona 216 (conducted by Fernando Marina) a great level of quality was presented, so high that made it almost unrecognizable in the middle of habitual humility in what we are used to receive this kind of proposals”.
ABC. December 14th 1998
“Success for the orchestra, success for the solo violinist and indisputable success for Fernando Marina, their conductor. His work, analysis of the pieces, coordination of the strings, homogenous sonority and interpretative nuances were omnipresent during the development of the concert”
Diario de Menorca. September 4th 1999
“Fernando Marina dominates with mathematical precision the instrumental intervention (…) and with appropriate gesture the alternance of energy and tenderness”
Balears. July 17th 1999
