About this production, Magister Aldemaro Romero wrote:
...Calls the attention, pleasingly, the set of merits this novel singer is adorned with: surprising natural ear, impeccable tuning, exact rhythm... in short, a musicality belonging to the natural musicians, because it has already been said: there are musician singers or simply singers. Ofelia is of the first, privileged in her original condition, because from such a special talent derives her enviable romantic-jazzistic phrasing, that special seal that sets her apart from the rest...

In November of 2004 she launched this last production together with the Municipal Symphonic Orchestra of Caracas directed by Maestro Rodolfo Saglinbeni and accompanied by recognized musicians of the country.
In words of Magister Henry Martínez himself:
"What I can say to those who read this sincere reflection? Who sculpts the themes as sculpting a stature? Who flies over the textual history as an angel would? Who walks on harmonies with rose petal feet not to awake the phrases, but to leave them, that for certain, its perfume? Who knows the scales well where she dares to intimidate the pure-blooded notes of the primary melody? Who carries in her pronunciations an immense box of crayons to obtain those shadings and air contrasts that made us look for her without knowing her? Who sinks in the rhythmical waves and returns from them with that smile that denotes the authentic knowledge of the sea where she dares? (...)It is great the honor of having been sung by Ofelia, of being her wood in this disc, to have been studied and understood (....). Hopefully you agree with me and always take her with you, as I do.
