by contemporary American academic figures who as a representative body seemed all too
ready to take the attractive, but in creative terms, too easy option of a post-minimalist basis
allied to pretty constant rhythmic fixations. [...]

[...] Patricio da Silva’s Clarinet Quintet was quite another matter; here is a genuine creative voice, his work being full of interest and beguiling invention.

" [...] The biggest cheer was for the work of the winner of the Barto Prize 2008, Patricio da Silva, which Barto performed solo. Sometimes with a touch like thunder, sometimes with very tender specks. [...] "

" [...] Der zweite Satz spielt auf sinnliche Art mit Klangschichten, die beiden anderen strahlen motorische Energie aus. Prokofieff hätte Spaß gehabt, aber auch Barto war ganz in seinem Element [...] "

" [...] ein wahres Feuerwerk an Jugend und Kraft: drei Stücke des jungen Komponisten Patricio da Silvia (Österr. Erstaufführung). Perkussive Rhythmen und Repetitionen (1. Stück) gefolgt von leisen, fast sinnlichen Harmonien und Melodiebögen (2. Stück) und dröhnendem Hämmern, das an die Grenzen des Flügels geht und den Deckel – durch die kraftvollen Sprünge zwischen Bass und Diskant und die starke Betonung einzelner Töne - bedrohlich stark zum Wippen bringt (3. Stück). [...] "
