Lluís Vidal trio/Spanish Brass "Luur Metalls"
Contemporanian Music Festival of Barcelona. CCCB

Lluís Vidal is a contemporary creature composer, but with such a lively, mixed and popular feeling. With ‘Brassiana’ he has got right again. In his case, it seems evident that his modest appearance is inversely proportional to the greatness of his art.

Diumenges al Palau (Sundays at the Palau). Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona

With the author on the piano, it came after the Impresiones Porteñas by Lluís Vidal, a work with a great communicative power, with a bit of Piazzola’s, a bit of jazz and even the figured echos of a bandoneon, the worther role together with five recognized composers.

Lluís Vidal trio & Barcelona Collage
Barcelona Jazz Festival

The outcome was superb, either with their own compositions than with tango themes, more courage in the last ones, more intimism in the first ones. A great work of Vidal and also of all the band, which would be a great pity that got disappeared after this concert.

Duke Ellington Tributes.Teatre Lliure, Barcelona

In a moment when motivation for artistic homages is undergoing a dark period, Lluís Vidals’ proposal was imaginative: His reverence before Duke Ellington did not get through the simple revision of the musician’s repertoire, but through a well-documented list of others’ homages.

Lluís Vidal is an excellent pianist, who has the command of all genres and who delighted us with perfect versions of his own work.

Orquestra de Cambra Teatre Lliure
Porgy & Bess. Auditori de Sant Cugat

Lluís Vidal and Joan Albert Amargós, plenty of courage and even of intrepid madness, decided to take the higher risk including some pieces from the memorable opera by Gerswin and playing them together with a selection of musicians from the Orquestra de Cambra Teatre Lliure. The results can only be applaused.

Re-edition of the album "Cançons populars"

The album Cançons populars is an extraordinary work, in which Vidal never loses his soul and the manners of the explored contents: in this sense he seems to me as a real native musicians using the jazz language as an expressive tool but never forgetting the music he is composing.

Lorca’s message get into a new dimension in Vidal’s music by enriching poetry images with a suggestive soft warm sonority.

We were also delighted by the violinist Pere Bardagí, the bass Horacio Fumero and the pianist Lluís Vidal, an extraordinary flexible open-minded musician, capable both to record delightful jazz albums and to write delicious arrangements of pieces like Adiós Nomino and Milonga del ángel.

The excuse was worth to listen to good compositions, especially the one opening the night, by Llus Vidal, and the two final pieces...

Lluís Vidal trio
Milikituli. (C.D.)

Lluís Vidal is an excellent pianist and a composer with a great clairvoyance melodic and harmonic. In his hands jazz becomes an imaginative, vital and renewed music. Milikituli, his last album, is an evidence of his talent, fresh and sophisticated, of the sensitivitiy of this anxious musician.
David Picó S. 1996.REVISTA MUSICAL CATALANA

Milikituli obviously means a work confirming the maturity of an experienced trio in which, under the conduction and thematic material proposed by Lluís Vidal, the rhythmic section gives us a beautiful jazz lesson.
J. A. Carrarach.1996. ELPERIîDICO

Vidal's composing skills are brilliantly evidenced in this album.

Orquesta de Cambra Teatre Lliure, Lluís Vidal trio & Dave Liebman
Teatre Lliure, Barcelona

Using a very modern language, these works show admirable concept fluency in their construction and academic pureness in their execution, measured and balanced with delicious taste.
Albert Mallofré. 11/10 1995. LA VANGUARDIA

The result is fresh and surprising.
Miquel Jurado. 7/10/1995. EL PAÃS

Vidal’s works, rich in melodic oscillation, release light, colour and harmony.

"El Capvespre". Auditorio Manuel de Falla, Granada

Vital presence of jazz in the more than interesting work El capvespre by Lluís Vidal. I was very delighted by the melodic basis, the instruments and the jazz feeling. .

Jazz em agosto 94. Fundaçao Gulbenkian, Lisboa

Lluís Vidal é um músico cujo trabalho transpira seriedade. Sente-se no modo como modela a escrita, no cuidado com que ataca as notas, na simplicidade com que partilha o desenho do espaço musical com os companheiros.

"Vidal is a pianist who does not need to hide behind anybody, is an extraordinary pianist in Europe as well as even outside the continent”, said Harald Rehmann to this newspaper, manager of the jazz section of National German Radio.

Hans Mercadé. 18/10/1993. LA VANGUARDIA

Lluís Vidal trio
AMR Jazz Festival, Genève

Le trio surprend par la variété des approches et des signatures rythmiques, le pianiste par une filiation tristano-evanso-jarrettiene avec des pointes ceciltayloriennes, mais dépourvues d'agressivité et de hargne. Il serait injuste de ne pas signaler la cohésion du trio, la cohérence du propos, le soin apporté au travail d'ensemble.

The final definition of the concert could be "a delicate flight among a soft-coloured diaphanous texture", Lluís Vidal is a privileged musician.
