‘Morgan is a born communicator. He has the rare gift of being able to make his instrument sing….Any arts festival organiser should grab Morgan now, before his diary is full’.

‘Housed in an eye-catchingly tasteful but colourful card sleeve, one immediately is made aware of how lyrical a player Szymanski is. The opening piece, from whence the CD gets its title, is completely modern in every way but so warmly played with such care being taken over every sound produced that one warms to it immediately. The Cat Dances are also lovingly played but more quirky, as the four different feline characteristics are drawn on the music for us. The Iannarelli pairing is really lovely, with the Valzer very imaginative and fun to hear, with the Cancion aptly portraying Iannarelli’s melodic gifts. There is not a single make-weight piece or performance here. All the set is top class in every respect’.

Classical Guitar CD review December 2005

At St Mary’s, Timsbury, guitarist Morgan Szymanski brought the vibrant colour of his native Mexico and South America to a damp Sunday afternoon. His homage to the guitar masters was sincere, but his own considerable gifts shone through, with the shaping of the cantilena and elegant tracery of Tarrega’s Capricho Arabe a real highlight’.

Young guitar star with an instant fan club ‘To judge from the whoops and whistles that greeted him, Morgan Szymanski already has a fan club. He made light of Alberto Ginastera’s 1976 Sonata, an enjoyable period piece, demanding a virtual anthology of extended techniques . . . In Carlo Domeniconi’s Koyunbaba, the density of sound was as near to symphonic as the unamplified guitar gets….We will hear more of him

‘Playing with the utmost commitment one could tell that this was a player destined for
future glories, if there is any justice in this world. A very exciting player, mark my words’.
