Performance Review Quotes (click on links for full reviews):
“A riveting artist”
~ G. Acosta, The Washington Post
“Astounding technical proficiency and artistic delicacy. He performed with elegant precision, stunning ornamentation and fine voicing; Stunningly executed”
~ J. Wanée, Boston
Musical Intelligencer
“Effortless and hypnotic tone colors."
~ FlamencoBuzz.com
“He’s doing everything right — and playing very well.”
~ S. Miron, Boston
Musical Intelligencer
“Larget-Caplan gave honor to the music, blending the guitar as
though this was the intention of Cage himself.”
~
F.E. Warren, Boston Musical Intelligencer
“Larget-Caplan’s arrangement of Bach’s Fugue in D Minor BWV 961
was masterful and an impressive presentation of his virtuosity
in a beautifully running bass line executed with poise and
precision.”
~ J. Wanée, Boston Musical Intelligencer
“Larget-Caplan’s playing came through exuberantly, bringing
forth a Hemingway-in-Spain ardor and ambiance to the hall”
~ A. Turpin, The Armenian Weekly
“The magnificent musical talent of Aaron Larget-Caplan is
indeed a gift for the senses”
~ D. Beauvais, Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network
“The artist infused his playing with such subtle
interpretations as to make “your heart stop." His technique and interpretation are superb”
~ Upham’s Corner News
“And what a treat to hear Aaron, as he showed us how virtuoso
guitar can relate to other chamber instruments with great
sensitivity.”
~ K. Dreier, Director J.K. Record Conservation Fund
“[Aaron] impressed the audience with his rapidly changing
chords and trill movements”
~ Alison Silver, The Brown Daily Herald
“A very fine young artist who is brilliant in creating new
approaches and initiatives in performing and teaching classical
guitar”
~ L. Leibman, Director of the Educational Bridge Project
“Larget-Caplan stretched the limits of the sound of the guitar, experimenting with other playing
positions most others do not tend to use: sul tasto, sul ponticello, finger vs. nail, etc. It’s
refreshing to hear and very rewarding.”
~ I. Wiese, Boston Musical Intelligencer
“Enthusiasm and virtuosity”
~ R. Schulslaper, Fanfare
Recording Review Quotes
"Each composer approaches the lullaby [on Nights Transfigured] in a new creative way allowing the listener to engage with the album as a conceptual whole. From colourful sensitive phrasing to virtuosic execution of soothing new music textures, Aaron Larget-Caplan’s playing is exquisite. Highly recommended." ~ This is Classical Guitar (Canada)
"John. Cage. Guitar. is an excellent introduction to those who want to approach [Cage] for the first time. Highly recommended.” ~ NeuGuitars (Italy)
" John. Cage. Guitar., quite properly, knows no fear in its blend of delicacy, complexity and
amiable simplicity."
~ Music Web International
Aaron Larget-Caplan is fast becoming perhaps the greatest guitar advocate for the music of John
Cage.
~ Classical Guitar Magazine
"To write that [Larget-Caplan] has something to boast about would be to say too little, the
guitarist is not afraid of any tempo, with each increasingly spectacular fragment coming through
not only with lightness, but with wildness".
~ Six Strings of the World (Poland)
"[The Legend of Hagoromo] is eclectic and endlessly rewarding release.”
~ Classical Guitar
"The Legend of Hagoromo combines a conceptually strong program with virtuosic and sensitive
performances all-around...a focused project with new music, artistic creativity, and vision.
Highly recommended."
~ This is Classical Guitar
"The interpretation is refined, every phrase flattering, every sound consciously derived. This
artist approaches the played pieces with enormous respect, trying above all to reveal the idea of
the composers...A delicious and poetic interpretation."
~ Six Strings of the World (Poland), Legend of Hagoromo
"Aaron is a performer with all the skill and energy required to deliver a truly remarkable contemporary work." ~ Classical Guitar Magazine, Legend of Hagoromo
"This is not some godawful Classics-for-Baby CD" ~Fanfare, New Lullaby

~ B. Rayfield, Fanfare, New Lullaby
“A Significant Recording” ~ S. Marsh, Classical Guitar Magazine UK, New Lullaby
