Alexander-Sergei Ramirez (guitar)
The Düsseldorf-based Peruvian guitarist Alexander-Sergei Ramirez has brought Ximénez to life with such compelling nobility, sensitivity, and profound emotional intensity that after the very first of the 24 "Minuets," originally published in Paris in 1844, one succumbs to the captivating beauty of his playing. For over an hour, the listener marvels at the musical quality and lyrical power of these mostly simply constructed, 32-bar miniatures. This is the most beautiful and evocative guitar album in a long time, and yet another heartfelt plea for the intimacy and magic of the classical guitar, which, when played with such brilliance and perfection, should finally find more admirers in our latitudes.

"Very rarely one might hear a more fascinating guitar recording"
CHRISMON, Germany
"...with a virtuosity beyond all criticism and an extremely sensual tone - it was a true musical treat for everyone
aficionado of guitar music!
GUITARREKONKRET, Germany
Played with unbelievable virtuosity, which was combined with profound musicality, and a crystalline clarity,
Ramirez's "Odyssey" is a multivision for the ears with its brilliant quality. His way of playing is dramatic and powerful.
Ramirez is a free explorer among guitarists, capable of climbing without any ropes, the impenetrable peaks of
great difficulty with an ease and smoothness that appears seemingly effortless.

Just about the most engrossing 75 minutes I can imagine. I talk back here, with humility and
shame, everything negative I ever said about this music.
I can't describe this performance in words. You will simply have to take my word for it and get yourself
a copy of this incredible recording before it disappears. Trust me, this is unique..."
