Grammy Award-winning guitarist Sharon Isbin is truly a master of thisgenre ... Her new album elevates classical guitar to a whole new level.She masterfully captures whats unique about each performerspersonality and style and melds it into a new guitarified creation.
Guitar World Isbins Journey to the New World was a brilliant recapitulation ofthe flow of ideas between English and US folk and classical modes; here,the gifted guitarist turns her attention to the Spanish and LatinAmerican tradition, with a series of dazzling accounts. The Independent (UK) Guitar Passions is not only a fun time with respected friends, it is abeautiful collection of guitar tracks. The Morton Report Spectacular music ... absolutely transcendent ... Sharon Isbin and herfriends not only play with skill, they imbue that work with passion andexcitement. Seattle Post-Intelligencer On top of all this is Isbins sheer musicality: she has the indefinableability, common to great performers, to combine diverse material anddiverse musical forces, and make them all her own.
