 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"Eliot Fisk has always been a "go-for-broke" performer – a high-wire act. When he succeeds, which is most of the time, you get incredible fire from him...The most successful reading on the CD is the Ponce. The collaboration between Fisk and Kapp's Philharmonia Virtuosi is warm and lively. They relate as equals, although the guitar has the usual soloistic prominence we expect in a concerto. The CD includes an encore track of the last movement, and the sparks fly even higher than in the previous play just minutes before. Apparently, Fisk suggested this to Kapp on the spur of the moment. It's precisely the sort of gamble Fisk likes to take and it pays off. The musicians are no longer worried, even a little bit, about being careful. They just take the bit between their teeth and *play*." -- Steve Schwartz, Classical Net
