CD Reviews

Takemitsu Discovers Reverb
Peter C. Cavano | Cleveland Ohio | 03/13/2007
(1 out of 5 stars)

"I was excited to have a complete solo guitar recording of Takemitsu,s work. The recording quality of this work , however is very painful to listen to.



Drenched in ambient reverb from the church in Sweden and one track from a concert hall in Germany, one has to dig through a virtual wall of sonic sludge to hear Takemitsu,s brilliant arrangements/compositions.



This is a real as shame as the guitarist , Franz Halasz has a masterful command of his instrument and the material at hand. Hopefully someone will record this body of work so we can enjoy listening and not feel like the performance took place at a high school gymnasium.

We're sending our love down a well...

"Unfortunately, I have to agree with the first reviewer. The reverby sound renders this cd almost too painful to listen to. Which is a shame, for I feel that these are some of the greatest pieces written for the guitar. Perhaps Halasz can record a second cd for those of us who prefer an intimate "guitar in your living room" sound, rather than the "guitarist trapped in a well" sound."
