Classic FM give VIDA 4.5 stars!
Classic FM (Feb issue 183) magazine has awarded VIDA’s new CD ‘Love, the Magician’ (BGS118) a magnificent 4 and a half stars out of 5.
” The members of VIDA conjure up an orchestral palette of colour and effects from four regular classical models. Sticking to tried-and-tested guitar transcription material, they play with technical brilliance and precise ensemble, creating alternately smoky and glittering colours in Falla’s El amor brujo that suit the gypsy heart of the music so well. They are high spirited in The Three Cornered Hat dances and their Carmen Suite arrangement is done with verve.”

I bought a copy of Love after seeing the quartet at the Sage in October 09. At the time we were assured it contained all the right notes (in the right order!) and I have to say I’m not disapointed.
If you like the CD then catch a concert, they’re even better live!
Many thanks Spen. Glad you like the new recording, but very pleased you like VIDA just as much live and in the flesh!
