5.0 out of 5 stars Superb artistry that goes well beyond technique, December 23, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Compass Rose (Audio CD)
Peter Janson is an incredible musician and an elegant stylist -- Compass Rose is modern acoustic guitar at it's best. Sometimes reminiscent of folk blues legends like Mississippi John Hurt, at other times a strong classical/flamenco flavor, still others a hint of rock, a touch of jazz, it all comes together to make something uniquely Janson. And yes, as the song titles suggest, there's more than a hint of world folk traditions in tunes like Planxty Irwin and Return from Fingal.

So, what else do you need to know? The timing on all selections is just about right (no trivial matter with some instrumentals these days!)The recording quality is superb: you can really feel the wood and strings. And this matters a lot here, because Janson produces a rich palette of tones and timbres that will amaze you. If you like fingerstyle guitar featuring artistry that goes well beyond technique, this music is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best guitarist I have ever heard!, May 17, 2010
By 
This review is from: Compass Rose (Audio CD)
My wife and I were lucky enough to see Peter in concert this past Saturday night at the Maha Yoga Center in Bridgewater, MA. Peter played several selections from this album and I can say that he is the most talented guitarist that we have ever heard. This album will bring you much enjoyment. Also would like to thank the center for bringing this great artist to the community for such a great intimate concert.
