I loved it from the first note. A gamble that paid off beautifully!

I came to CD Baby to buy a disc of another friend's group, and paused on this Editor's Pick. I had some extra $$ in my paypal account, so what the hell. I loved it right from the first note, and there's not a clunker to be found (well, maybe the Brower -- the first piece by him I care less for --but only perhaps because it's almost radically different in style from everything else). I'm a composer, and was curious to hear the Bogdanovic. I now see why he's becoming a staple among guitarists. A great variety of moods and styles, all played beautifully, with conviction and a great sense of balance both on the parts of the musicians and the engineer. I'm going to get another copy or two to give away as Christmas gifts.

As if one virtuosic classical guitarist were no longer enough to dazzle the mind and ears, here are four of them in rich, textured and colorful arrangements. Interacting and weaving these boggling works as one unit, carefully interlocked and interwoven as if to speak from one instrument with 24 strings, all four of these accomplished guitarists speak with meticulous technique and absolute clarity. Covering music from Australia to Cuba to Spain, this album shimmers with more brilliance than a morning's first dart of sunlight over the water.
