Classical Guitar Magazine review Rhapsody

cgv32_01

Classical Guitar Magazine  (September 2013) have just reviewed VIDA’s new CD release ‘Rhapsody’. Here’s a few sound bites ….

“[Rhapsody] has been a universal favourite for decades and in this guitar quartet form is simply breath-taking.”
“… the VIDA guitar Quartet sparkles with a dynamism and sweet lyricism I’ve not yet heard in a guitar ensemble.”
“These arrangements are standouts for me; unique in conception and deserve to be heard wherever VIDA goes.”
“… the dances really are dances to behold; Terkische, a sort of tango, is so joyful it made this reviewer get up from his desk and give a little twirl.”
“… the VIDA Guitar Quartet have set a new precedent with ‘Rhapsody’; their recording is superb.”
“We don’t have a star rating at Classical Guitar Magazine, but here are five anyway; a ‘must buy’.”
“Part of the art of the guitar is ignoring and over-coming its inherent limitations as an instrument and exploiting these confines to the full: the best artists are always discovering new ways to do this and the VIDA Guitar Quartet have set a new precedent with ‘Rhapsody’; their recording is superb, please check out their concert schedule because experiencing a guitar quartet live does wonders for the soul. We don’t have a star rating at Classical Guitar Magazine, but here are five anyway; a ‘must buy’.”
