VALSES POÉTICOS - RUPERT BOYD (RELEASED 2008)

“The performances that Boyd gives here are first-rate. Witness the drama of the opening Piazzolla or the mystery of bygone ages as evidenced by the Sculthorpe. Even the Bach is one of the best of its kind . . . Altogether this is a fine CD from a player who deserves to be heard.”
                                                                - Classical Guitar Magazine (UK)

“Boyd’s playing is beautifully refined, with gorgeous tone . . . musically and technically flawless . . . the album is first-rate . . . [the Granados] is one of the best recorded performances of this work on guitar.”
