A Glimpse of Times Past

"For fingerpickers with a feeling for open tunings, the latest CD by Peppino D'Agostino represents a genuine El Dorado, because the 11 works on the album were in part recorded using exotic tunings. ... But even those who just want to listen without trying to play it right away will truly enjoy 'A Glimpse...', because D'Agostino is a sensitive and technically clever acoustic guitarist, who skillfully blends folkloristic elements with contemporary influences, in order to create his own style, and thereby reveals his ability to entertain at a high level."  Gitarre & Bass, February 1999

"...The beauty of the song should be placed in the limelight, not the lucubration about how it was created. Eleven instrumental gems are proffered to the listener so inclined, and for those who know how to appreciate them, these are tidbits possess a special delicacy."  Hannes H–ttl, Gaffa Musikmagazin, February/March 1999
