"Harding concluded with two works by Isaac Albeniz, Mallorca and Sevilla, each originally composed for the piano. For a few minutes the entire audience was transported from Mesquite to a light, breezy island with all of its beauty and warmth; I have never been to that island, but I feel like I know exactly what it would be like to be there. To say that Harding has considerable talent would be a huge understatement. He plays with effortlessness that is at the same time amazing and considerably gratifying for the audience, and it is easy to understand why he was chosen to headline the program."
