Review Quotes (click on links for full reviews):
“A riveting artist”
~ G. Acosta, The Washington Post
“Astounding technical proficiency and artistic delicacy”
~ J. Wanée, 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
"I would strongly advocate these [Cage ] compositions to be
performed by young guitarists before they start working on any
other contemporary composers."
~ Soundboard,
Guitar Foundation of America, Uros Dojcinović
"My favorite track on the disc is Dream, which is
remarkably lovely and beautifully realized in the artist’s
transcription. [Bacchanale] is a marvelous racket! The
artist, who did all of the arrangements, is greatly to be
commended for this project, for which he also provided the
fascinating liner notes. As noted earlier, recorded sound is
crystalline."
~ Soundboard,
Guitar Foundation of America, Albert Kunze

"Aaron is a performer with all the skill and energy required to
deliver a truly remarkable contemporary work."

"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".

“Stunningly played”

John. Cage. Guitar., quite properly, knows no fear in
its blend of delicacy, complexity and amiable simplicity.

advocate for the music of John Cage.

the development of the modern guitar repertoire. The
transcription of Larget-Caplan has ennobled our instrument.”
~ Six
Strings of the World (Poland)
"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

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."
