Quotes

“Scott Kritzer, an intelligent and self-assured musician with a sure technique and a rare musical sensitivity.”  Bernard Holland, The New York Times

“All guitarists embrace their instruments but Kritzer seems to hold his with a special tenderness.”  David Stabler, The Oregonian

“...a guitarist in the best modern American mold.” Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar – London

“Kritzer is clearly a guitarist’s guitarist. The sounds that come from his instrument are exquisite.”  Phil Hunt, The Oregonian

Mr. Kritzer’s commitment to technical excellence, as the solid structure beneath an unparalleled sense of musicality, has brought him over a decade of accolades from audiences and critics alike, in concert halls in San Francisco, New York, Frankfurt, London, Vancouver, B.C., Dusseldorf, Los Angeles, Sapporo, Washington, D.C. and Munich, including highly acclaimed debuts in London’s Wigmore Hall, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.and New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall. He has been featured in Japan’s Gendai Guitar Magazine, London’s Classical Guitar and Guitar International as well as in America’s Soundboard and Guitar Player magazines.

Starting around 1920, the legendary Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia began to commission guitar works from non-guitarists - first, his fellow countrymen and, soon after, composers from many countries. At the same time, Segovia was introducing audiences in every part of the world to his instrument and its repertoire. Guitar repertoire now includes every musical ‘ism’, but it’s still romantic pieces above all that draw both the guitar’s casual listeners as well as its aficionados.

This recording is a tribute to one of Andrés Segovia’s favorite pupils, who I had the great fortune to study under, a guitarist and teacher who has carried on the ‘Segovia tradition’, Michael Lorimer. Through his fearless approach to musical interpretation and dedication to teaching, Michael Lorimer became the single most influential teacher in my career. ‘Romance for Guitar’ is about that ‘first love’ –the romantic repertoire that initially caught my ear – and reflects my years working with Lorimer.
