This SACD is one of the greatest recordings devoted to the classical guitar of the past ten years.

“[…]this SACD is one of the greatest recordings devoted to the classical guitar of the past ten years. All here is perfect balance, virtuosity full of emotion, tangibly breathtaking musicality, in a sound recording that is detailed and precise to perfection in pure DSD.”

Le coup de cœur de ce début d’année.

“Bien éloigné de l’image caricaturale que la musique brésilienne pourrait faire imaginer à des oreilles européennes, c’est avec finesse et intelligence qu’elle intègre dans son jeu de guitariste classique, le son rythmique si caractéristique de la guitare brésilienne, élargissant par cette influence la dynamique et les couleurs de ses interprétations pleines de vie et d’authenticité.”

Hers is not typical generic guitar playing.

“It’s clearly obvious that guitarist Gaëlle Solal is well aware that good musicianship entails more than simply plucking strings on a guitar. Her playing is characterized by a constant and organic expressive undercurrent which indicates that an insightful human being is behind the instrument.”
