Paul Galbraith -- "The Brahms Guitar" “What many had come to see and hear was the revolutionary change he has brought to playing the guitar . . . the results were truly remarkable, with an amazing clarity and a huge dynamic range I have never before heard from any guitarist. The audience was held spellbound.” – The Sunday Times Adam Levin - classical "Adam Levin's playing is superb -- no technical difficulties, lovely tone, wide range of dynamics and articulation... I can't imagine these works played with more conviction, expression, and sheer joy!" - Kenneth Keaton, American Record Guide Adam del Monte - flamenco and classical “One of the leading flamenco and classical guitarist/ composers of his generation” - Classical Guitar Magazine Leandro Pellegrino - jazz “(Leandro)demonstrated his stylistic breadth by playing a stunning, leisurely-paced interpretation of the standard “Darn That Dream” and then ripping off a technically-demanding version of a vintage Brazilian choro by composer Garoto ” — ALL ABOUT JAZZ
