Paysage Hypothetique: Solo Works for Guitar Review
"Veteran performer Stephen Robinson is no stranger to either the stage or the recording studio and this experience permeates his recent release, Felicidade. Listening to this disc was just like being in a concert hall with him. Robinson's artistic connection to composer Roland Dyens is immediately obvious with the demanding Libra Sonatine . . . handled with an ease which belies the technical challenges. Songe Capricorn is performed by one who can bring that deep connection to life. . . . In Robinson's hands, Frederic Hand's memorable Homage is playing with great feeling. . . John Doan's Farewell provides an excellent, calming encore to a very enjoyable, concert-like experience on this disc." Jim McCutcheon, Soundboard, Spring 2008, Vol. XXXIV, No. 1. -- "Where the music dictates a delicate touch, Robinsons playing has almost spiritual intensity which is very moving, equally where the music needs dazzling bravura, this player supplies this commodity in heaps.
