5.0 out of 5 stars from Solo Piano Publications, June 5, 2001

This review is from: Your Lingering Touch: Govi (Audio CD)

"Your Lingering Touch" is a charming collection of pieces from Govi's previous six albums on the Real Music label. Many "best of" albums have a rather haphazard feel to them, but this one holds together and makes perfect sense while providing a lovely overview of Govi's various playing and composing styles. Upbeat and rhythmic, this CD is full of sunshine without becoming syrupy or cloying. Many influences can be heard running through the music, but the strongest is probably Spanish guitar, and second would be slow dance. The passion in "New Dawn" and "Lover's Moon" can weaken knees! Those are my two favorite tracks, but I also really like the fun of "Tears of Joy" and "Magellan's Beat". "Torero" smolders, "Sailing Away" drifts peacefully, and "Sangria" is light and bubbly. Melodic and accessible, this is great music for a romantic picnic or a garden party. It is complex enough to be completely involving, but smooth enough for a backdrop for other activities. "Your Lingering Touch" is excellent from start to finish!

This review is from: Your Lingering Touch: Govi (Audio CD)

This was my first album from Govi, and I was most impressed. Easy to listen to, masterfully played, and enhanced with the feeling of "natural surroundings" that never became "artificial".

If you like guitar, played with great skill, and yet relaxd and natural, you will love Govi's style.

Imagine yourself driving a convertible on a bright sunny summer day down route 1 on the coast of California. This is the atmosphere Govi provides with his music - a sense of outdoors, of freedom and breath. With interesting rhythms and orchestrations, this recording was made for you to sit down, relax and put a pleasant smile on your face. Simple, beautiful, unpretentious, a success!!
