"Luckett's
performance of these works is superb..... particularly striking is his range
of dynamics..."
Classical Guitar Magazine
"a truly talented player"
Guitarist Magazine
"Not only is Neil Luckett a first class guitarist, he is also a brilliant
composer for the instrument. He uses the instrument in a highly imaginative
way, his music is both lyrical and dynamically charged. Makes me think of an
English Leo Brouwer."
Timothy Walker - RAM
"...perfect for morning coffees
and evening moods, this disc of seventeen ambient yet passionate guitar pieces
carefully blends classical and jazz styles. At times reminiscent of Russell
Donnellon's "Ursa Major" and at others, of the thirteenth century
laments of Jacoba de Bologna.
"Melodic throughout, Luckett's most recent interludes are subtly seductive
and offer ambient nods toward the experimental... A welcome addition to my collection."
Scott Noegel - Offline arts review magazine
"Music that yields up it's magic bit by bit"
Carey Blyton - composer
"Neil Luckett is one of that growing number of musicians that are evolving
as truly universal composers and performers. Impossible to pigeon-hole or categorise,
these are musicians that I have always hoped would be produced by our still
rather out-dated music colleges...
This album is current testimony to his highly developed compositional skills
and is devoted to that most classical of idioms, the string quartet. The three
quartets presented here float effortlessly in a melodic style sometimes reminiscent
of Gorecki or Bartok but always remaining very ‘English’ with the
single movement Quartet 2 having an almost Elgarian or Delius pastoral quality.
This quartet and Neil Luckett’s music deserve as wide an audience as possible."
