Wenneke Savenije of Klassieke Zaken beautifully remarked, "Some people are born for music. Mozart was like that, and the Cuban guitarist and composer Joaquin Clerch is like that." His innate musicality and innovative compositions have positioned him as a beacon of guitar mastery. Alongside him, Tal Hurwitz, hailed as "An exceptional classical guitarist and composer," has earned international acclaim for his performances and contributions to the guitar repertoire. His dedication to exploring the technical and musical capacities of the guitar continues the grand classical tradition of the composer/performer, making his artistry a spectacle to behold.
