about

An excellent choice for an introduction to the archguitar, this is a great recording with its smooth and lovely tone. The arrangements are of pieces from the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods. The Handel Sarabande and my variations on it have long been one of my audience’s favorites. While most musicians hate to hear that their music puts people to sleep, here, I consider it a compliment. Many listeners have said Style Brisé helps them relax and fall asleep at night. It's funny how they seem to say this almost apologetically - I am honored and flattered to accompany them to the threshold of their dreams!

A O R T A
by Vicky Chow

Christopher Cerrone's "Hoyt-Schermerhorn" is one of the finest pieces written since the turn of the century. Ms Chow displays an uncanny balance of emotional depth and structural clarity. Amazing! Peter Blanchette, archguitar
