"The Santa Fe Guitar Quartet was the first classical guitar
based group to perform my music. I was flattered many years ago
when they proposed playing a few of my pieces and I was thrilled
with the results when I heard their recordings. This is one of the
premier ensembles of this type in the world and I remain honored
to be represented in their repertoire."
Pat Metheny "Just
a little note to thank you guys for the beautiful job you have
done with my pieces. I never tire of listening to it!"
Paquito D'Rivera
"The SFG4 makes chamber music of the highest musical
quality, exploring great coloristic possibilities using guitars
of different timbres and pitches, a true orchestral treatment
of a not always easy combination of plucked instruments. The compositions
and arrangements on their first recording are well balanced in
the interaction between the diverse instruments achieving a final
result of most pleasant chamber music making, enhanced by the
obvious camaraderie of their members."
Carlos Barbosa Lima
"After listening to the SFG4, I am only able to say one thing:
the music lives in this quartet with the pure flame of art."
Abel Carlevaro
"You guys are amazing, I loved the interpretations,
the adaptations, the energy and the flow of the record, not to
mention that I was really thrilled with the ensemble sounds; which
is so nicely rounded, so well put together. The sound of your
quartet is unique; I love the colors, timbres and the nuances...
The bass guitar is fabulous and adds so much depth into the performed
compositions!"
Clarice Assad
"The artistic ability of the SFG4 is excellent
and they possess an intelligent artistic discipline."
Guido Santorsola
