CD Reviews

Unusual repertoire, excellent performances
02/27/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Perfect for the solo classical guitar fan who's tired of hearing the same old standard rep rehashed over and over again.Slotkin unearths some unique gems here, with a number of pieces from 20th century French composers (Roussel, Auric, Poulenc, Milhaud) that are probably unfamiliar to most. The remainder of the program runs the gamut from Latin (Chavez, Orbon, Villa-Lobos, Falla) to European (Martin, Henze), all with equally successful and musically compelling results. For the completists out there, there's even a world premiere.Clearly, the performer is in his element here -- you can hear his love for this music shining through. The sound quality is similarly excellent. Definitely a worthwhile purchase, and a guitarist to watch."
