"AMILUCIENCE, Moro's first release in CD format, is a work of uncommon excellence on the classical guitar. Playing an Andalusian guitar (so delicate an instrument you can see candlelight through it!), he plays twenty of his own compositions with such depth of feeling that the listener cannot help but be transported by the music. The title cut, Amilucience, is yet another masterpiece in his long list of beautiful renderings. Every piece on this album is evocative of faraway places and romantic moods. SAMISEN is a remarkable bit of ear candy of Japanese flavor; beautifully simplistic, it captures the soul of Japan. SHEPHERD'S TALE is classically Andalusian in style. Close your eyes and let your imagination run wild while you listen to this one, and you just might find yourself in Southern Spain on a moonlit night while the Gypsy wends his magic for your ears alone. HIGHLANDERS brings to the listener the essence of the Scot, neatly reminiscent of the tragedies and immense pluck of the Highlander while at the same time glimpsing the joy of life...you sense the craggy mountains, the lonely moors, the beauty that is Scotland.MORO has that rare gift of bringing forth from his guitar a wealth of emotion that can bring tears to the eyes and love in the heart, and takes you on a journey to Romance. His impeccable touch on this instrument is unequaled; his finesse and timing, his sense of melody and the unending beauty of his compositions make this one a keeper. Truly, he has the Magician's Touch on the Classical Guitar."

"Amilucience" is a masterpiece by the guitar virtuoso, Moro

"This recording is a work of art with the rich texture and vivid imagery that one would find in a Renaissance painting. Every note is played with crystal clarity and deep emotion. Moro's music frees the imagination, allowing the listener to experience the sensation of exotic places and romantic settings. Each song is evocative and highly personal, gently touching one's inner emotions and bittersweet memories of the past. This music comes from the heart--Moro is a gifted artist who has not compromised his talent in pursuit of fame and fortune."

Sheer serenity
