Jason Vieaux
"There are now many finger-perfect guitarists on tap but those of Vieaux's natural musicality are rare indeed; everything in the moulding of the phrases comes from within - you just can't programme sensitivity of this kind...an issue of the greatest distinction, by a player of whom we shall un-doubtedly hear many more good things." Gramophone
"The outstanding soloist of the evening, however, was Jason Vieaux.... His technique is flawless.... The middle movement, Larghetto, had a nuance of phrase that made the simple line ache with meaning.... It simply could not have been better." The Buffalo News
