"After a gentle luscious, late-night moody opening, Obrio then becomes a fiery, highly animated virtuosic piece, crammed with exciting rhythms, constantly on the move. In style, it would have to be likened to contemporary Latin-jazz. On the evidence of just this one piece, it is obvious that the Russian composer Konstantin Vassiliev is a very skilled writer for the instrument. The music works wonderfully well between the two parts with the exciting accompaniment on guitar two providing a perfect complement for the improvisatory-sounding guitar one line which zooms around the fingerboard creating a very interesting visual aspect as well as a musical one. This would make a splendid encore item for the higher-grade guitar duo."
