"...one of America's premier guitarists...Notes shone with different weights and
hues; melodies were alive and recalled the nuanced beauty of light reflecting
off a string of pearls...Vieaux's performance spun magic. Rarely has a single
instrument so clearly painted such cinematic vistas and searching
introspection."
Fort-Worth Star-Telegram
"Vieaux gave the Prelude, Fugue and Allegro (BWV 998) a stately, sharply
articulated and subtly driven reading,
in which the closing Allegro gradually took on the exciting qualities of a
perpetual-motion piece."
New York Times
"a substantially gifted guitarist whose playing revealed equal portions of
stylistic elegance and technical polish."
Baltimore Sun
"Vieaux opened ears with his rhythmic clarity
and remarkable left-hand facility....He made the single guitar seem
like a body of instruments at work in music full of the emotion of
loss."
The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Jason Vieaux [was] nimble-fingered in a Vivaldi Concerto that was
remarkable for its variety of colors."
Boston Globe
"Guitarist Vieaux excelled in its
flamenco-style flourishes, ethereal high notes and spiraling passage
work." [Villa-Lobos, San Diego Symphony]
San Diego Union Tribune
"Vieaux gave a cleanly played performance full of personality. This
gentle concerto (it was a favorite of Mata's) gave the soloist plenty of
opportunities to display his technical skill."
Fort-Worth Star Telegram/DFW.com
"His sense of colour, phrase shaping and beautifully expressive
dynamics are remarkable. It is not easy, especially in a long fugue,
to keep the listener with you...the playing displays consummate
artistry"
MusicWeb-International.com
"Vieaux showed why he is among the most talented guitarists of his
generation, a player whose effortless technique and fluidity gave the
concerto a singing voice."
Tampa Tribune
"Allen Krantz's guitar concerto Songs of Innocence and Experience
filtered Pacific Rim musics through Krantz's own American lens in a
work so affable that with a charismatic interpreter like Jason Vieaux,
it's bound to become standard guitar concerto repertoire."
Philadelphia Inquirer
"Jason Vieaux displayed dexterity in rapid
passages, and a plaintive, singing tone during slower, more expressive
moments."
[Villa-Lobos, San Diego Symphony]
San Diego.com
"The first thing one notices is his consummate
technique, with a virtually flawless left hand and an almost total
absence of the glistening sound of sliding fingers during position
change. The technique is so secure that after five minutes one forgets
about it and pays attention to matters of interpretation."
Buffalo News
"Vieaux lit into Jose Luis Merlin's "Suite del
Recuerdo." His smooth phrasing and the dramatic pulsing swells he
created on the low strings made this a tough act to follow."
The Washington Post
"...close to perfection...with a maturity,
confidence, emotion and virtuosity which belie his youth..."
Soundboard Magazine
"Vieaux was first-class. One movement on Ponce's
concierto del sur made me want to hear more of his work, such was the
range of sounds he drew from his instrument."
New Zealand Herald
"Jason Vieaux has magic in his fingers... Vieaux gave an inspired and impeccably
prepared recital before a large audience."
The Daily Gazette
"Vieaux
shows why he flies above crowded field of classical guitarists"
