About Me:
-20th Century Guitar Magazine (USA)
"Rodrigues' transcription manages to retain the heroicism and ceremony this music radiates. From the superb French-style Ouverture (in which Pedro Rodrigues shows his remarkable dexterity in the Grave and adroit use of staccato to bring out the "voices" in the three-part fugue which follows) through to the final movement, the Gigue which provide a wonderfully exciting climax, the player retains the sense of majesty this work requires."
-Classical Guitar Magazine (UK)
"One should highlight the spectacular musicians Monika Streitová (flute) and Pedro Rodrigues (guitar) that showed how the contemporary music scene has superb musicians in Portugal."
