Positive Feedback

A thoroughly engaging and well-spent hour with this delightfully articulate guitarist. Enno Voorhorst is a master of subtle grace, dynamic drive, and brilliant technique. But, he never allows his huge technique to overshadow his musically compelling communication of nuance and emotion. (…) Overall, this is a completely engaging and musically complex program, performed with consummate musicianship and skill. (…) This recording is one of those rare combinations of exceptional musicianship and superb engineering that creates an almost transcendent musical experience. The Pure DSD256 recording is superbly resolving of detail and captures all of the delicate harmonic overtones that make music sound live.

In a word, it’s wonderful. Solo guitar for an hour. And then played by Enno Voorhorst!

Actually, the guitar is the only instrument that will feel live sitting in a living room environment. The title ‘840’ refers to the song above the score of Satie’s ‘Vexations’. It indicates the number of repetitions of this piece with a length of only one and a half minutes. Now it suddenly takes no less than sixteen hours to carry it out.

A good example of the innovative and sometimes absurd genius Erik Satie. I also refer to the text by Enno Voorhorst himself in the booklet. Clearer explanations couldn’t be better!

The recording is as I am used to from producer/recording engineer Tom Peeters of Cobra. How clean can it be? Well, listen!

Exceptional. The finest digital recording of a guitar I have heard.

In terms of the performances, Voorhorst effortlessly encompasses the different styles with an unforced naturalness of expression. His tone is defined, but resonates beautifully throughout the registers at all dynamic levels, he has an enviable range of tonal shading at his command.
