"Eduardo Fernandez: More than a promise. (…) Gradually, with tenacity and intelligence, Eduardo Fernandez is building a secure and rigorous career. (…) some interpretive interests equally relevant to virtuosity and the feelings, as well as an impeccable taste (…)"
- [SCHERZO]

"(…) enviable technique and musicality (…) Excellent rigor and interpretative fidelity (...) the irreproachable technique of Eduardo Fernandez and his mastery of the keyboard transmitted speed and clarity (…) With no doubt his technical skill, his good work and delicate sense of music have made him one of the most talented pianists of our country."
- [A. J. López Domínguez, OpusMusica.com]

"Some of us started out thinking that the youth of the pianist was incompatible with his perfect and powerful way of playing, but our thinking was cut short by his magic. It caught us and wiped away our thoughts. The flood of expression that he threw at us, this boy, with his hands, completely out of the ordinary, made us, his audience, watch in amazement. And we experienced one of these moments of magic that may surprise you when you least expect it. There we were, small human beings, in front of somebody playing by the grace of the gods, and we were incapable of escaping from this cloud of amazement, marvel and astonishment…"

"(…) He played everything with accuracy, loyalty and a perfect technique (…) an electrifying version, forceful and at the same time, extremely delicate. The slowest and elegantly-sung waltz of the third movement of Prokofiev's Sixth sonata was unforgettable! (…) Petrushka's accomplishment loaded with imagination, good pianism, and dancing references (…) a hyper virtuous piano arrangement of the popular Flight of the Bumble-bee that fluttered and imposed with gleaming virtuosity."
- [J. Romero, EL MUNDO]

"Eduardo Fernandez embroiders Petrouchka. (…) he is an excellent pianist, a complete musician who not only dominates the skill in an irreproachable way, but is also provided with an enviable musicality. (…) the version that Fernandez offered has been excellent, exploiting to the maximum the exceptional timbric richness of the work, uniting the technical difficulties of the work with the intense lyricism that underlies the whole piece"
- [J. A. Lacárcel, IDEAL]

"Eduardo Fernandez is undoubtedly one of the most talented Spanish pianists. In spite of his youth he is in the enviable situation to be able to take on the most important challenges of his profession with a guarantee of success."
- [P. J. Vayón, FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE MUSICA Y DANZA DE GRANADA]

"…good music prolongs life … the sensations provoked by an interpretation of the dimensions and depth such as given to us by Eduardo Fernández are difficult to explain … In Rachmaninov"s 3rd Piano Concert Eduardo Fernández combines tension, harmony, dialogue with the orchestra, and emotional solos underscored by melodic expression … breathtaking, fluid, magical, growing, bellisimo, memorable … unforgettable."
- [M. A. de la Ossa, LA TRIBUNA DE CUENCA]

"Youth, balance and class. (…) Eduardo Fernandez is a young pianist who undoubtedly has a huge future ahead of him. But he does not fall into a box: his mind is simply overwhelming. (…) Continuing the trend, magnificent was his interpretation of the Sonata in A major, D.959 by Schubert. He simply astonished in the second movement, imbued with great drama, depth and melancholy."
- [M. A. de la Ossa, LA TRIBUNA DE CUENCA]

"The pianist Eduardo Fernandez succeeded with the Iberia Suite. (…) Has emerged not only successful, but triumphant in his efforts. (…) A challenge far exceeded"

He plays Russian music with great energy and provides it with all its character. Next to his forceful interpretation he also possesses an exquisite sensitivity when needed."

"A world of high-level sensations. (…) it has been a sample of great interpretive virtuosity. With a program of undoubted technical complication, Eduardo Fernandez realized a proud version. The interpreter demonstrated vehemence in the forte movements and in the crescendos, but also a great sensitivity and smoothness in the slow and pianissimo sections. The public was surprised by the world of sensations that woke the performance up. (…)"
