CD REVIEWS | From the Summer Solstice
“…this very well produced CD is a most welcome addition to the ever-growing recorded guitar music market. The playing throughout is nothing short of superb…their interpretations being of the highest quality. …exquisite stuff! But really, everything on this wonderful programme is a gem. A very attractive proposition all round.”

“Chopin said there was nothing more beautiful than the sound of a guitar – except the sound of two. He would have been in raptures if he’d heard Duo Lenz’s ‘From the Summer Solstice’. Subtle interpretations, crisp articulation and a focus on absolute beauty of tone production have burnished each track on the album to a high state of finish. Nothing stands between the listener and the music.”
Limelight Magazine, Australia
“The pressure is on to produce stand-out material that will catch eyes and ears – With ‘From the Summer Solstice’, WA husband and wife outfit Duo Lenz are doing just that.”

“I love the CD, ‘From the Summer Solstice’. Your performances are just wonderful, and I do thank you for the magic that you give to my pieces.” About Richard Lenz’s piece; “What a beautiful work Dhyana is! In addition to your playing, the engineering is just fabulous, as is the artwork. In every way, then, the CD is a real winner. I do congratulate you upon it.”
Peter Sculthorpe, Sydney, Australia
“Your performance is excellent – very expressive and emotive; you have excellent technique, a great ensemble sound and your playing is deeply poetic and expressive.”
Phoenix Classical, a division of Phoenix Records Ltd, Canada
“Congratulations on a great disc – I really enjoyed listening to the whole thing and the total concept has a fresh originality about it. Thanks for putting the entire collection of my duos on the disc…they really seem to work well together. I had forgotten what an interesting piece ‘Refractions’ is – it is wonderful to hear it recorded after all this time. My favourite (tracks on the album) are ‘Summer Solstice’ and my ‘Nightsongs’.”
Richard Charlton, Sydney, Australia
“I love the recording, it’s very beautiful playing all round, and Aurora is delightful, with just the right amount of “tinkles” from the Maton – very sparkly indeed! “
