reviews
“Sublime albums that are objects of beauty in themselves… made of beautiful black & white pictures that suggest mystery.”
Rodolphe Bruneau-Boulmier, France Music,

AUTUMN OF THE SOUL - Lorenzo Micheli
“Micheli does play all the music very well and with considerable feeling… This is a CD for lovers of mostly non-avant-garde guitar music and for lovers of fine, restrained guitar playing. “

DEMAIN DES L’AUBE - Thibaut Garcia
“In his debut recording [Thibaut Garcia] presents a program of such awesome difficulty that it would terrify any but the greatest of virtuosos, both for its technical and interpretive demands. He brings it off with ease. This is a remarkable performance from any artist of any age. That it is a debut recording from a 20-year-old is all the more astonishing.”
Kenneth Keaton. American Record Guide, 2015

VADEMECUM - Francisco Bernier
“Francisco Bernier vuelve a sorprender por su eclecticismo, siempre al servicio de la música española; el guitarrista español ha captado con rigor la profundidad de esta música descarnada, carente de artifi cios, y en la versión completa que ha preparado con el sello Contrastes se aprecia la madurez musical. Su dominio técnico del instrumento, indispensable a la vez que imperceptible, convierte a la música en la única protagonista, ganándose los elogios del compositor en la presentación del disco”
Esther Martín. Ritmo, June 2015

INTIMATE VIHUELA - John Griffiths
“Un fantástico registro con el que Contrastes Records –reciente discográfica, con sede en London, pero relación estrecha con Sevilla– El disco cuenta con una límpida y fabulosa toma de sonido y una presentación muy interesante, sencilla, casi minimalista, concebida para la ocasión por Morpheus Communications Inc. “

LOOK AT THE BIG BIRDS - Carmen Álvarez & Francisco Bernier
“What a delight! I’ve never encountered anything quite like this, and I welcome it.
Francisco Bernier…and with his partner Carman Alvarez performs with sparkle and joy…“

DIVINA MANCHA - Antón Baranov
“…these are not pre-wrapped candies from the grocery, but truffles hand made by an expert chocolatier.
Enjoy. It’s the good stuff.”

UNREAL CITY - Kostas Tosidis
“An enterprising release that breaks much fertile ground”
Paul Fowles. Classical Guitar Magazine, December 2014
