"Savino shows us once again why he is on top of the classical guitar world. He has a strong interpretation of music which makes Carulli's somewhat boring pieces suddenly become entertaining. This album reminds us of how great of a composer that Carulli really was. Savino shows that he is a gutsy player with flawless technique. This was proved to me by attending a concert of his where he put on an arpeggio show as he likes to do. Savino is one of the most underated guitarists of our time and in my opinion has the maturity and poise to be rated right up there with Segovia, Williams, and Bream. THIS ALBUM IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY GUITARIST!"
An amazing display of beautiful music.

"I have never been a fan of classical music, especially guitar. However when I listened to this CD I was surprised to find myself telling my husband to be quite. I feared to miss even a beat of music. If you want to start a classical music collection, this is a must have!"
Sonics are the catch

"This is some of the more interesting music I have heard from Carulli, and expressively and expertly played by Richard Savino on a very interesting looking instrument that you can see in the notes. However, the recorded CD sound is not good, perhaps the worst of the many guitar albums I have owned. The frequency response seems to cut off at about 4000 Hz, making the guitar sound muffled and unrealistic. We may be talking about quality control at Naxos instead of recording glitches, but my advice is: do not buy this CD unless you need the music and do not mind a smothered guitar."
