Americascapes 2: American Opus (Ondine)
“Where my first ‘Americascapes’ album looked at lesser-known major American works that had influenced European composers (rather than the other way around), for this follow-up, I went back to a more basic thought – “What is America?”. Since America is many things to millions of people, I realise that my question had to mean, “What is America to me? (…) Selecting the composers for this American Opus took well over a year. Yet I eventually refined the list to these three composers, with all of whom I feel a close kinship and all of whom are deeply meaningful to me. Two of them I even had a direct artistic relationship with. As a group, they also embody some of the diversity and the radically different aesthetics that thrive in the Americas.” (Robert Treviño)

Respighi Roman Trilogy (Ondine)
Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai
"Masterfully interpreted by Treviño and the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai. The strings create an incredible atmosphere, while the brass section brings the striking sound images of this composition to life... extremely successful...With this recording, Robert Treviño demonstrates his deep understanding of Respighi's music. His interpretation is at once passionate and precise, and he leads the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI in a thrilling performance." - Die Merker
"Those cinematic vistas of Rome come alive in this recording...Treviño's sense of the dramatic pulse of the music is excellent and the recording is a beauty." - BBC Radio 3, "Record Review"
"Treviño really gets the grandeur of these pieces...just marvelous...almost uniquely [he catches] the sense of the wonderful energy underneath...it works so well...very powerful and very well done...I'm putting this in an honored place in my Respighi collection." Dave Hurwitz, Classics Today

Ravel: Orchestral Works (Ondine)
Basque National Orchestra
"Under the Mexican-American conductor Robert Treviño, the discipline and quality of the playing is immediately evident in La valse, as is the energy with which (he and the Basque National Orchestra) work up the final frightening climax of the piece – or, indeed, the ebulliently dancing and surging last pages of the Rapsodie espagnole...(In Bolero, he builds) the orchestral texture with implacable steadiness to its fatalistic climax, without a trace of vulgarity." - BBC Music Magazine
