Press

“Serene, relaxing and cleansing are not words we generally like to employ in our super-erudite observations on the heady art of music. But this album called "Elevation" by Alejandro Santoyo is nothing if not serene, relaxing and cleansing, and it's just plain undeniable. And that makes us think... The truth is, music is music, and it's the composer's purity of intent, really, by which it oughtta be judged... Airy electronic orchestral and choral textures grace his delicate piano and guitar melodies, which are simple and quite effective, and very, very pretty, without veering too much into the saccarhine. A Bach-like elegance of form, arrangement and execution is Santoyo's forte; the title track is especially entrancing, as is a radically reharmonized "Air on a G String." ”

— John Payne (LA Times), Bluefat

"Elevation" is the recently released CD by Pianist and Composer Alejandro Santoyo and is one you will surely enjoy. The superb collection of instrumental songs on this album is richly textured and features Santoyo impressively playing the piano. The musical structure of his songs is deeply expressive and carries thought provoking entertainment. As you listen to the first track, "Nenita," you can feel the passion flowing from the piano as the delicate melody whisks you away to a soothing time and place. The palette of sweet sounds on the song, "Lullaby," instills an ambiance of peaceful relaxation. The wonderful song, "La Llorona (feat. Omar Villanueva)" is beautifully blended with crisp piano and silky acoustic guitar. The title track, "Elevation" features angelic choir voices sweetly setting a serene tone. You will thoroughly enjoy the exquisite New Age music on the album, "Elevation," especially is you are a fan of Yanni or Enya.

— Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team, RadioIndy.com

“This album "Elevation" is one that lifts you above the ordinary. It scales heights of elegance, form, and structure that are rare indeed among modern albums. It is classical music, but the kind of classical that transcends definition and reaches out across entrenched musical boundaries... Alejandro Santoyo’s composition and arrangements are as expert as anything you can find in modern classical, while his light touch on the piano has the touch of genius about it. The album uses solo piano, mixed at times with acoustic guitar, full orchestra, and on the elegiac title track, a choir that brings a tear to the listener’s eye. Alejandro Santoyo’s balanced musical form has been compared by one reviewer to Bach. His compositions play the music to the film that takes place in the mind. It is visual, aural and spiritual, all at the same time… But mainly, it is music that comes from the heart and the soul, for the heart and the soul. It goes beyond words... It is Beautiful. ”
