“Carter always combines an improvisational exuberance with an intense inwardness that is even more pronounced on this disc...one has the impression that one is hearing Sor's true voice, in autumnal raiment, for the first time, the sublime economy and nascent romanticism of the writing growing in significance thanks to the delicate colours afforded by this guitar's lighter construction...My disc of the year so far.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2011
“His mastery of the idiom is such that we only notice the music’s salon-like gentleness and intimacy, not the dextrous technique required to make it so.” --Financial Times, 25th June 2011 ****

“Played on the fingertips, Carter's gracefully shaped recital takes its title from the Opus 50 Caprice pour guitar seul, an idyll pitched on the cusp of Romanticism.” --The Independent on Sunday, 10th July 2011
