“…they have crafted a lovely CD that music lovers of all kinds will enjoy. As much of this music is based on folk sounds and/or dances of Latin American countries, the styles of each piece are complementary without becoming tiring…The strong connection between duo members is apparent, as much of this music requires tremendous flexibility in tempos, mood, and color, executed beautifully overall. The piece that best demonstrates the duo’s artistry and passion is Piazzolla’s “Histoire du Tango.” As many decisions must be made about a variety of stylistic gestures, successful execution of this piece requires musicians to be deeply involved in the creative process. The Noteworthy Duo have crafted exciting interpretations of this beloved standard in the flute/guitar repertoire…” (Tess Miller, The Flutist Quarterly, The Official Magazine of the National Flute Association, Inc., Volume XXXV, No.3, Spring 2010)
"Felicitaciones al duo Noteworthy. Es una maravillosa interpretacion. Tiena muchisima fuerza y denota, en ambos, un dominio de la tecnica instrumental. Bravo!!!" (José Luis Merlin, Composer of "Suite del Recuerdo" and "Progresiones para Pauline", December 2009)
"...a delightful performance..." (David Wood, WFIU Radio in Indiana, June 2009)
