"Honestly, this is the best arrangement of these 16 movements (Pictures at an Exhibition) I have heard...While staying true to the original sense of the pieces, the Quartet brings fresh colors and lyricism...The works by Piazzolla are rendered with great sensitivity to his genius of taking traditional elements and melding them with the modern." www.minor7th.com

New Works for Guitar Quartet

 

 

"A winning collection of new classical pieces commissioned by this superb nylon-string ensemble. Besides sounding great in their own right, the music represented here shares common traits (virile rhythms, hyperactive antiphonal scoring and the ability to be tuneful without getting dippy) that bode well for the future of the increasingly popular four-guitar medium."

Fine dynamic interplay and great expression as well as virtuosity make this CD an exceptional experience." Staccato Magazine (Germany)
