«This was the best all-French concert I have heard for a long time…..
I can’t think of a more sympathetic/enthusiastic conductor for this music than Juanjo Mena. His sense of orchestral balance was superb, as was his care over, among other things, dynamics, colouration, and rhythmic/lyrical contrast.» (Geoff Diggings, Seen and Heard International)

«The music glinted and sparkled as it made its inevitable, quicksilver progress…. This was a highly successful LPO debut for Juanjo Mena, a partnership that hopefully will continue, for it has great potential.»
