Boston Classical Review

CARLOS SURINACH: ACROBATS OF GOD, BMOP Sound (2023)

“‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ has a stylish female narrator [Aliana de la Guardia] who resists any temptation to guy it up and gives herself to the innocence of Lear’s poem…” (MusicWeb International)

VOICES OF EARTH AND AIR VOL V, Navona Records (2023)

“Aliana de la Guardia… lends herself with subtlety and expressive intensity.” Sonograma

FLEETING REALMS VOL 2, Navona Records (2021)

“Aliana sang like a goddess... I never imagined that my music could sound this good.”

“She is amazing. If you have never heard this voice, you need to find a recording and listen.... Thank you PARMA Recordings for connecting us for this recording. I feel incredibly blessed.” Marvin J Carlton, composer

Loose, Wet, Perforated: Guerilla Opera, Navona Records (2017)

“Aliana de la Guardia’s Loose lets loose dizzying flights of virtuosity, highlighted by screaming riffs so painful that you want them to simultaneously stop and never go away.” Gramophone
