GRAMOPHONE – WILLIAM YEOMAN

Jan 2016

Sometimes a work’s ubiquity blinds us to its brilliance. Familiarity breeds – albeit amiable, cosy – contempt. Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez could be considered such a work.

marvellous sound and a remarkable musicianship

RITMO, Musica Clàsica, CD review Ritmo Parada

Jan 2016

An interesting programme which adds to the often recorded „Concierto de Aranjuez“ the extensive suite for guitar and orchestra in six movements by Lorenzo Palomo (Pozoblanco, Córdoba, 1938) „Nocturnos de Andalucía“, commissioned by Pepe Romero who world-premiered this piece under the baton of Frühbeck de Burgos in the year 1996.

the light-and-shadow contrasts of Dowland’s compositions become starker

THE NEW YORK TIMES - review of “Mister Dowland's Midnight”

"The melancholy, private lute music by John Dowland gets an infusion of fresh color in this recording by Christoph Denoth. Transposed to the modern guitar, the light-and-shadow contrasts of Dowland’s compositions become starker; the flights of counterpoint more brilliant. But it’s in the quietly meditative galliards that Mr. Denoth’s guitar sounds most lutelike."
