"The young audience"
Press-reviews of some of the
recordings
"Treasures"
Classical Guitar:
"… Care has been taken to include a
wide variety of styles and periods
in a first rate recording. The
playing of both musicians is never
less than totally commited and the
mind never wanders. The whole
recital is clear and naturally
balanced and the end result is a joy."
Henry Roth, Strad-Magazine, Los
Angeles:
"The playing is very clean, warmly
vibrant in tonal projection and
exudes purity of line and sincerity
of purpose. Bravo!"
"More Treasures"
Nordjyske Tidende:
"The music misses nothing concerning
intensity, expressiveness and
professional mastering. The works
are all small gems of high quality
and they get an interpretation that
with great lightness and facility
show both poetic spirit and
vibrating virtuosity."
