Audiophile Audition‘s Steven Ritter reviews Smaro Gregoriadou’s first Delos release, Reinventing Guitar, Vol. 1 and says Gregoriadou “provides a crash course” on period guitar playing:
“It is an interesting field of study, and the guitars she selects are quite varied and excessively revealing in sound concept. Her program starts with Scarlatti and works its way to her own wonderful Balkan Dances, and she plays with a clean and scrubbed technique that is perfectly fitted to each style. It is obvious that she plays with a passion that belies any concern about “historicity” in that the music comes first and the performances must reflect this concern. … guitar lovers will want this for all kinds of reasons, and good music lovers have a good reason as well.” —Steven Ritter, Audiophile Audition
