Testimonials & Reviews
Music of Cuba & Spain, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA - October 30, 2006
“Aaron Larget-Caplan is a riveting artist whose musical styling begs immediate attention. His classical guitar performance was a treasure, and his fiery flamenco dancer, La Conja, was equally passionate. Larget-Caplan thoroughly understands Flamenco and Spanish guitar, and he is a true original. This virtuoso's performances showcase the classical guitar's eclecticism and reflection. Larget-Caplan's guitar is a Spanish gem from New England whose acoustic melodies should not be missed!”
CD Release party/performance, Southbridge, MA - March 25, 2006
“The music of Spain, Latin America, and the United States was performed at Aaron's CD release party. The CD release: "Tracing a wheel on water" was celebrated with the show and a reception which also featured the artwork of Debra Ostrokolowicz Horan & Pamela Redick, the Spanish dance of Gabriela Granados & cornet of Geoffrey Shamu.”

Tracing a Wheel on Water
“His playing [on Tracing a wheel on water] sounds like a careful balance of head and heart, as the execution never lets mechanical precision overtake the music’s inherent emotional warmth.”

“The program is eclectic and engaging. Of the pieces new, or relatively so, to me, I especially liked Kevin Siegfried's piece, which exhibited a lot of compositional control and felt very satisfying to listen to. Your playing was lively throughout and nicely present. It all sounds like the product of careful consideration.
“I’m not usually a fan of 20th century classical guitar solos, but your CD makes me want to listen to more & more! I can’t wait for the next one.”
“I love Gauthier's cover painting. I can imagine the bird's beak claws plucking the strings.”
“Just love the colors. All the works are so diverse. After listening 3 times I really enjoyed it, after 10 I was blown away by all of the nuances of color & sound. You even inspired my wife & I to dance a tango.”
“Aaron-- your CD is terrific--really nice sound and exiting rhythm on your part and also interesting pieces...”
