Press Reviews Luis has received reviews in the main newspapers of his native Venezuela, as a member of the rock band "Alter Ego" (now renamed "Sara es Rara"). In the U.S., Luis has been mentioned on reviews on "The Boston Globe". These are a couple of reviews Luis has received: Richard Dyer (The Boston Globe) wrote "..Luis Gonzalez's "Gone in 22 Seconds" shows how even strict counterpoint can spring surprises; the performers thought it was so much fun that they repeated it instantly.." David Cleary (21st Century Music Journal) worte "..Harder to pigeonhole is "The Heaviest Penalty" by Luis Gonzalez, a work dissonant in sound but varied in technique and mood that sports sections both vlangorous and thoughtful as well as a fugal coda.."
