Two attractive recent American concertos in excellent performances [RB]
Lhoyer: Guitar duos (Brilliant Classics)
Attractive rather than profound, primarily of interest to lovers of the classical guitar [GPu]

An attractive bargain set; crisp playing and intelligent conducting embrace the whole gamut of moods in these wonderful symphonies [RMo]

Water-coloured emotions; attractively gentle, outwardly modest music [RB]
