‘The arrangements themselves are beautiful, maximising the use of various effects such as palm muting and artificial harmonics to evoke not just the sounds of the orchestra but the sights and smells of the Spanish campo. The performances, too, are beautiful.’ – Gramophone

‘Trent’s performance is brilliant, handling the complex technical and musical challenges with aplomb, making the guitar a transparent interpreter of these emotions… This recording is an example of solid, generally understandable contemporary compositions that deserve to be included in the classical guitar’s repertoire – and brought to us by a world-class performer.’ – American Record Guide
