Review of Ezequiel’s December 2025 Performance in Buenos Aires:
Ezequiel Menéndez, a respected and renowned musician both locally and internationally, performed each and every piece with ample experience, demonstrating the versatility that has characterized him for many years. He highlighted the essence of each work while shaping its particular character, bringing out the distinctive colors and the most suitable registrations.
The organist enhanced the presence and beauty of the magnificent instrument: a 40-stop organ with three manuals, pedalboard, and 2,600 pipes, built in 1897 by the emblematic German firm E.F. Walcker & Co., currently the oldest pneumatic-action organ in Argentina.
His consistently solid approach to the “king of instruments” guarantees interpretations supported by his refined technique and ever-present musical mastery. Menéndez manages, simply through his presence, to astonish the audience of the “Midday Musical” series, held in the monumental and much-admired Basilica located in the heart of Buenos Aires—a splendid counterpoint that brings the third edition of this distinguished cycle to a close.
A brief, luminous recital, yet fully sufficient to convey the majesty of the program.
