Album: Preludes & Fugues

“Much of Bach's oeuvre translates well to guitar, and the arrangements by this group are no exception. Overall, this track is quite enjoyable. The guitarists demonstrate a clean, versatile technique.
My only complaint is that the recording is a bit stale: the four guitars mush together a bit. One gets the impression that this was recorded with only one microphone in a room with dead acoustics.
Considering how well the music is played, the mediocre sound quality is a mild disappointment. But, this is still worth downloading.”

“The pacing of 'The Storm' keeps pushing and pulling the listener along; it is certainly an aural adventure!

“Had Camille not mentioned that this is a recording from a student recital, I would never have guessed that this would be the case.
The treatment of the horn is languid and fluid. I find it to be a thoroughly enjoyable interpretation of the piece, though perhaps somewhat lacking in the variation and power some enjoy in the instrument.
My only complaint is that the acoustic is a little dry. The rich texture we expect from the horn is lacking a bit, but that does not detract much from enjoying this piece.”
