"A modern masterpiece of classical guitar performance."
20th Century Guitar Magazine



"Durkee is precise - he takes on each piece dedicated to the music, the notes, and it's clear his focus is on the integrity of the piece as a whole. The music lingers, gently, compassionately and contemplatively."
Don Kimenker, reviewer
