...there isn't a single piece that isn't rewarding in its own way. Craig Ogden's playing throughout is technically immaculate and resourceful, his readings sensitive and tender, flashing and tumultuous, as the music requires.
Glyn Pursglove , MusicWeb International
Australian-born guitarist Craig Ogden… strikes one as being the ideal Coles interpreter: technically secure enough to weather the stormy strumming and torrents of passagework, artistically mature enough to draw out the expressive potential of the music through his shapely phrasing and exploiting of every colour the instrument has to offer.
Gramophone Magazine
...a stunning introduction to the music of Welsh composer Paul Coles...Coles has a very distinctive voice...yes, this Welshman can speak with a Spanish accent, but he has very original thoughts...This music is highly recommended for players looking for fresh material and listeners looking for music which is attractive and not over-played. Craig Ogden's performances are exemplary in every way, as is the recorded sound. Look for this one!
SOUNDBOARD, Vol XXXIV, No.1
...the writing is thoroughly idiomatic to the guitar...The playing is absolutely first rate...superbly crafted and enormously enjoyable.
Robert Levett for International Record Review
...a distinctive voice...a very strongly recommended CD, and not just for Guitar enthusiasts.
