5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, June 11, 2000
By A Customer
LAGQ is wonderful and this CD is a great compilation of some of their best work to date. Extremely versatile musicians, they perform swing music, Sousa march music, a Main Street Electrical Parade tune from Disneyland, as well as music by Copland and Praetorius. It's amazing how they are able to produce the sounds they do. A great compilation and one that would nicely add to your LAGQ collection or a great CD to start that collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Recent Purchase that I'm Joyed to Find and Enjoy, January 26, 2001
By rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Not until recently did I know about this guitar four. Hearing a number of their songs on internet classical radio, I decided I'd try this one.

What a great surprise --- their arrangements of Copeland to Sousa to Praetorius are excellent and in taste. I'll be venturing into their other works.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is only a warning, September 19, 2004
By M. Yarus "yardos" (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The LAGQ are fine players, and the music here is first rate as a summary of what they do, or for any purpose. HOWEVER, the transfer to CD on my disc was very poorly chosen, so that the top octave and a half was mostly missing (worse on some pieces than others, though). This takes the snap! out of guitar strings and notably attenuates your ability to tell what the 4 are doing with guitar timbre and the like. So, if you have wide-range audio gear, you might want to look elsewhere for an introduction to these players.
