THE COMPOSER ABOUT
THIS RECORDING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY Jose Tomas said: "Raphaella's interpretations testify to a deep respect for musical literature, and to a close study of it. Her exquisite sensitivity is supported by a first-rate technique, distinguished by precision and richness of tone, full of nuances." Françoise-Emmanuelle Denis from the magazine<Guitare d'hier, Guitare d'aujourd'hui> wrote: "La musique est superbe et interprétée avec beaucoup de sensibilité et de musicalité par Raphaella Smits. Un disque à acquérir!" Colin Cooper from <Classical Guitar> wrote: "It's all a question of style, really, and Raphaella Smits has plenty, never once putting a finger wrong in that respect. Her approach is of that refreshingly straightforward modern sort: she observes what is there and with an excellent musical imagination inserts what is not." François Dry from <Les Cahiers de la Guitare> wrote: "I y a un style Coste aisément reconnaissable. Raphaella Smits est l'interprète idéale pour ce répertoire qui est en outre plein de sensibilité. Son jeu extrêmement nuancé est basé sur une lecture très attentive de la partition. Grâce à de très bons moyens techniques Smits parvient à tirer le maximum d'intérêt de ces pièces qui prennent toute leur valeur sous ses doigts. N'est-ce pas le propre des grands interprètes?" Freddy Duffeleer from the guitar magazine<'t Fretje> wrote: "The album gives a clear overview of the different moods that Coste has put in his compositions. They go from melodious and simple through high level technical passages. All played on the highest possible level by Raphaella Smits. A recording of international standard." |
