Denouement [promotional copy]

This collection of compositions for solo classical guitar achieves what countless acoustic noodlers attempt but rarely get right. ...a wide range of influences, from folk to Baroque, and an equally wide range of technical difficulty. York's pieces are refreshingly composed, with a beginning, middle and end. Added to the winning combination of York's impeccable technique and finely crafted compositions is the music's potential to join the workhorse etudes for the guitar. - Diane Gordon, Acoustic Guitar Magazine

As relaxing and soothing as summer rain on a tin roof...well written, superbly presented melodies...York has to be considered a very, very good guitarist. In fact I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who wouldn't appreciate the majesty of this wondrous classical guitar CD. - Jim Cornall, The Sound Mind

The melodies are constantly on the move, carving out new territory with each sweeping arpeggio. ...delicate lyricism, self-assured, full-bodied tone and harmonic balance...[are achieved] on this masterpiece of modern classical guitar. - Sam Prestianni, The Daily Californian

This is a beautifully played solo guitar album...cleanly played and resonantly recorded. - Jeff Bradley, The Denver Post

...delightful...His music has been recorded by John Williams and Christopher Parkening but he is perhaps his own best interpreter, as his playing is masterful and passionate, without being overdone. - John Clayton, St. Louis Guitar Society, "Guitar Notes"

...exceptional compositional breadth, commanding instrumental abilities and rich tone. Rife with folk, jazz, and ancient influences, the material ranges from challenging to simple yet highly musical. Whether it is cast in an odd meter, utilizes incisive rhythms, or relies on more conventional elements, his writing projects levels of honesty, spirit, and magnetism that are rare in contemporary guitar composition. - Jim Ferguson, Guitar Player Magazine

...a thoroughly satisfying musical statement from one of our most gifted young musicians, who I hope gets the chance to record again, soon, and often! - James Jensen, Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine

Andrew York's writing for guitar has a great immediacy; he composes so naturally for the instrument. Here is a very individual disc, full of enjoyable music...I do recommend it. - Chris Kilvington, Classical Guitar Magazine

Immaculate technique, elegant and expressive. - John Schneider, Soundboard Magazine

York's music is a simple palette of rich harmonies and melodies that helps clear the air...in a recital full of headier things. There is also a sensual beauty to York's work...think Brouwer without the intricacies. - Bill Ellis, American Record Guide

York's guitar playing is very clean, with excellent articulation, and always very pleasing musically...This project by Andrew York and GSP is certainly a denouement of artistic freedom. How refreshing! - Raul Jose, Arizona Classic Guitar Society, "In Tune"
