Critics and audiences alike have praised the Oregon Guitar Quartet’s previous recordings – each has garnered international attention and airplay on hundreds of radio stations across the nation.

"A world class quartet.” "This is a fine recording.” "In the end, it is the joyousness, energy, and precision of the performance that convinces me that this group is one to hear.”
Soundboard Magazine vol. 37 no. 4

"The arresting linear clarity that makes the listener sit up and take notice in the Bach transcription portends several things: the emergence of a new, major force in the world of guitar playing, defined (among many other things) by a close ensemble precision and a collective instrumental mastery.” "The Oregon Guitar Quartet is actively setting new standards in the art of plucked string ensemble playing.” "...exceptional recordings.”
