Bio / Background
"...very well played, with an excellent feeling for harmonic tension and release. There is such a natural unstudied shape to the phrases, I was immediately put at ease and found myself enjoying the music. These pieces range form simple, transparent purity to complex contrapuntal lines... all are handled with equal ease. This is a fine CD, and one I will listen to again after this review is written."
John Ingwerson, Soundboard
"...as accomplished as you're likely to find... secure and stylish."
Paul Fowles, Classical Guitar Magazine
