Alan Banks: 'Mnemonics' CD

Note to Alan Banks,

You should be really proud of this CD! It is one of the best I've heard in years! Your performance of Bach's Chaccone is simply stunning. In my view, your version rivals that of the great maestros; dare I say better? You have so much musicality and expression, it puts many of the 'others' to shame. And yet, you have so much technique and control at your disposal. You have a really compelling slant on Domeniconi's Koyunbaba (a personal favourite of mine). I doubt many guitarists would like to take on Lyons Mnemonics either!

More power to you! All music lovers, not to mention fellow classical guitarists should listen to this fantastic CD. Listen and learn!
