Guitar Stories is a true masterpiece of Yuri Naumov and his unique 9-string
guitar. Ranging in mood from witty free spirit
of Ping-Pong blues and Night Pub, to symphonic Night on the Highway,
this album truly has something for everybody:
whether you are looking for a nice "trip" away from everyday hassles
or need to relax and enjoy a great piece of unique
sound of Russian Blues, it is all in there. It is highly recommended
that you enjoy this album on a good audio system, alone,
eyes closed... See you on the other side :)
This disk is the finest of Yuri Naumov's albums. His fans who waited
with anticipation for a collection of mostly
instrumental compositions will surely and rightfully embrace the new
work with delighted enthusiasm. Once again, Yuri
proved himself as the best guitar player I ever heard.
This CD exceeded all my expectation! I have been a devoted Naumov's
fan for years, and I knew that the new record
would be something special, but I did not expect it to be SO PERFECT!
"Guitar Stories" is (except one song) an
instrumental album, and it presents one of the best guitar players
and composers in the world, who is still to be fully
appreciated by the big audience. Especially enchanting is the fact
that Naumov plays an accoustic guitar. And you will be
surprised how great and complex it sounds in his hands! The world knows
many great rock guitar players, who created
quite a few masterpieces, but their music involves electric guitars
with dozens of different effects, sometimes so complex
that you start wondering whether you still hearing a guitar or something
else. An accoustic guitar sound has been
considered by many too simple and pure for intensive rock music. This
CD is a masterpiece of accoustic rock guitar, and it
opens totally new dimensions of accoustic guitar techniques, ideas,
and sound. Whether you are into guitar playing, or just
a music lover who likes music that can be listened over and over
again, this CD is an absolute MUST TO HAVE for you!
I cannot say enough good things about this CD. A friend introduced me
to it, and I can't seem to stop listening to
it. This man is the master of the guitar. The songs flow into each
other at the perfect rate. You cannot help but
to feel it's amazing vibe. This CD leaves you feeling relaxed and renewed.
Listen to it at work, in the car, at
home with a glass of wine. You will enjoy it. Buy this CD. You will
not be disappointed, only uplifted.
It is guitar at it's best.
*(exellent book, by the way. It helped me great deal. Y.N.)
Hi Yuri,
I could just kick myself for not having listened to your CD until
today.... BECAUSE IT IS SO INCREDIBLE.
It is totally enjoyable.... refreshing, creative and the sounds and
mix make me so proud. You did an incredible job!!!
It has now made it into my daily playlist. I know I'll be listening
to it over and over and over now....
Also, plan to play it in class to demonstrate some cool effects.
REALLY GREAT WORK.... KEEP ON WITH THE LIGHT.
Sincerely,
David Gibson
