"Michael Cedric Smith opened with an exciting, bravura performance of Etude No. 7 by Villa-Lobos. Requiring, and receiving, flawless technique, this study has the elegant, sinuous lines so typical of the composer... Smith had all of the necessary sophistication."
Lynna Sedlak, The Buffalo News"A fine contribution, clear and concise, and above all very well played."
Jan de Kloe, Classical Guitar Magazine"Smith renders compelling performances of each [Barrios work], with portions of the waltz sounding at times like two guitars are being played.....
Doug Levy, ArtsVoice
"Yet another guest guitarist comes to Boulder Tuesday in the series of recitals by major American masters of the instrument...Michael Cedric Smith."
