Vincent Lindsey-Clark and Roland Gallery of the highly acclaimed Segovia Guitar Trio join Roland Chadwick, renowned Australian guitarist to form the Modern Guitar Trio.
Classical Guitar Magazine – October 2006 – CD Reviews
The Modern Guitar Trio ... Roland Gallery, Vincent Lindsey-Clark and Roland Chadwick. All three of them (are) virtuoso guitarists (and) just happen to be extremely good composers in the own right. Their belief in their compositional abilities is reflected in their programmes which consist expressly of material written individually by all three players (a fact that they claim is unique in the ensemble field). Sonata Melodica by Lindsey-Clark; tunes abound from every corner of this brilliant and exciting piece whether it be in the bright, vivacious sections or in the darker, moodier passages.
Roland Gallery’s contribution to this programme ... another entertaining work. Good as the two preceding two pieces are, pride of place must go to Roland Chadwick’s emotive composition The Wendy House. This five-movement composition contains some of the most beautifully evocative writing for guitar ensemble this reviewer has heard in many a day. I defy anyone not to be moved by the sheer poetry of this writing. There is no overstatement, no pomposity or grand empty gestures; it is simply music for music’s sake. The Wendy House is a hugely enjoyable and extremely well written work for guitar trio and deserves to become a standard in the repertoire. Virtuosity, power and sensitivity are matched by all three artists and here and there one hears shades of the sound world created by the legendary Presti-Lagoya duo. So here are three extremely rewarding and out-of-the-mainstream works done with style in every department in a recording which is uniformly good and clear. These three pieces are all highly impressive and I strongly recommend this brilliant new release. Steve Marsh - Classical Guitar Magazine Review – October 2006
