I had the good fortune to see the Santa Fe Guitar Quartet in concert, from the second row of the Myerson Symphony Center in Dallas. They are immensely talented and highly entertaining. Their mastery of the guitar is complete, and their understanding and love of the music come through clearly. They performed track 4 (Buenos Aires Hora Cero) and it was as good in concert as on the CD - outstanding. I highly recommend the CD and the quartet - if you get a chance, go see them. They are super nice guys and very interested in meeting fans (which is great for us fans!).

I had the occasion of listening to El Fuego Fatuo and Primavera Porteña played by this marvellous quartet whose members are Miguel Piva, Mariano Fontana, Néstor Ausqui and Eric Slavin. I must honestly say that I've never heart such an accurate and brioso performance! Those four guitar players are incredible arrangers and performers and really deserve all the best for their, undoubtfully shiny future. I just can't wait for Miguel Piva sending me the copy he promised me today! I really count on him as an integrant member for our OVCK (Orquesta Virtual del Corte de Krak). May the muses be with this incredible quartet- forever!
