| „It was with great pleasure that
I listened to the Barrios Guitar Quartet’s brilliant new recording
"Four Suites". I was extremely impressed with the high level of musicianship, the tightness of the ensemble playing, and most of all, the inventiveness of sound and creativity in the arrangements. In particular, the suite of pieces from Weill’s “Three Penny Opera” was a true discovery, using creative effects like slides, cymbals, whistling and a myriad of other sonic surprises to bring this piece to life. With this recording, the Barrios Guitar Quartet establishes itself as a major voice in the world of guitar ensembles; I look forward to hearing more of their excellent work.” William Kanengiser (Los Angeles Guitar Quartet) „The BGQ is a first-rate ensemble filled with virtuosic players...This is music and music-making of infectious vitality... This beautifully recorded disc joins the ranks of my favourite quartet albums." Al Kunze, Soundboard Magazine, USA |
