"Credit due to Beethoven.com for bringing this new artist to the attention of classic guitar lovers everywhere. Hearing his music online from this CD got me to ordering this.I am favorably impressed with this purchase, playing it over and over. It is rich in traditional pieces such as a magnficent rendering of Ode to Joy as well as a Brahms Lullaby.To my surprise and joy, what I enjoy most is Skanson's own compositions, especially the final track, which is has entitled Mi Verdadero Amor Te Esperare. This is just a magnificent piece, which flows smooth and silky. His other entrees on this CD as well are wonderful, Porbreito and Dedos de Platino. He shows great versatility, from Spanish guitar to his take of Classical Gas by Mason Williams.First class guitar piece."
