REVIEWS
This album is highly recommended for all fans of contemporary instrumental music and for guitarists Wanting to hear the potential of the acoustic instrument played at the highest level imaginable. James Scott, Minor 7th
The last track and title song “Why Not” is a concert for acoustic guitar and string orchestra. Pino plays solo guitar together with the Roma Tre Orchestra. On this delightful composed piece the interaction between orchestra and solo guitar is magnificent. This CD is truly a work of art. Henk te Veldhuis, Bridge Guitar Reviews
