"These are first class productions and performances that will give great satisfaction to anyone who likes the lute, and make a lot of new fans as well."
(AudAud.com)

"If the lute could be said to have a star performer, then Paul O'Dette must surely be it. He's the most sought-after lute performer at music festivals round the world, his recordings are always showered with awards, and he has a virtuoso touch and musical intelligence that I've rarely seen matched." The Daily Telegraph

"These are first class productions and performances that will give great satisfaction to anyone who likes the lute, and make a lot of new fans as well. Recommended with some urgency to those lacking and needing a good introduction to the instrument and one of its chief exponents."
(AudAud.com)

"This is superb music, melodious, ...wonderfully apt for the instrument. O'Dette, for my money the world's finest lutenist, does the music full justice, and the sound is first-rate. You'll want this one." - FANFARE on the Kapsberger
