…the true art of Maria Parra, or to express it better, her gift to the world with this, her first disc, is not —the speciality of so many false dreamlovers— to convert us into (fainthearted) dreamers, like Fridolin in Schnitzler’s Traumnovelle, but to allow us to hear a rêverie hers – which is also, in turn, a form of ethic.
David Rodríguez Cerdán
Rêverie is a homage to childhood dreams which should never be forgotten.
Stefano Russomanno
It is not surprising that María should proclaim music to be life relieved of all burden or which, on the basis of wishing for the imposible –or not wishing for anything at all— so that being and dreaming —or rather Rêverie— become one and the same.
