"Immediately from the opening movement of Leo Brouwer's mood-oriented piece, Paisajes, retratos y mujeres (Portraits, landscapes and women), 'Portrait of Wagner and Mathilde,' one is aware of three extraordinary musicians at work."

"very warmly recommended."

--Lynn René Bayley, Fanfare

"Blue Solitude is a most worthwhile disc that will appeal to anyone who is interested in guitar or Latin American music. Its sound is clear and each instrument can be heard to good advantage."

Maria Nockin, Fanfare
