“Vida sparkled with vitality and spontaneity, weaving a rich tapestry of colour and breathtaking range of dynamics and percussive effects that held the audience spellbound” Acoustic

“exquisite tonal and dynamic control, super-tight ensemble and unerring musical instinct. Thereʼs only one word for it: magic” Gramophone

”VIDA conjure up an orchestral palette of colour and effects ... they play with technical brilliance and precise ensemble, creating alternately smoky and glittering colours in Fallaʼs El amor brujo that suit the gypsy heart of the music so well.” Classic FM

“Their range of timbres and colouration is so broad that one really does forget that there are four identical instruments. The Vida Guitar Quartetʼs ensemble throughout is exemplary and seemingly achieved with ease” International Record Review
