“A brilliant artist. His relationship with the instrument is marked by absolute technical command, tremendous sound, and masterful use of tone color.   His playing demonstrates perfect stylistic understanding, which is even more impressive when one considers the wide variety of his programming.   His musicianship is thoughtful, intensely expressive, and profoundly beautiful.”

- Karl Wohlwend, Artistic Director and Presenter, Columbus Guitar Society

“… profundity and sensibility have been captured in the interpretative skill of Mr. AVERS….   a facility and energy that transports the listener.”

- Les Cahiers de la Guitare, Paris, France

“Avers is impressive not only for his technique, which is faultless, but for his rich, opulent interpretation of the music….  His obvious involvement with such musical values communicated to the audience, which listened with rapt attention, a tribute to the sheer and uncommon musicianship of the performer.”

- Richard Zoller, Sierra Vista Herald, Arizona

“Avers is one of the most impressive artists I came across in the last few years.”

- Sergio Assad, guitarist/composer, Latin Grammy winner

“Randall Avers interprets as Frank Lloyd Wright designed.  His performances consist of clear lines meant to work with the composer, not dominate him…. With long term musical ideas and a remarkable dynamic range, Avers deserves more than a cursory listen.”

- Guitarra Magazine, reviewer Andrew Hull

“Magic…unusual depth and versatility…”

- Tunisia News, Tunisia

“Some performers play perfect but without soul.  Others let their emotions run away with them.  Avers poured his heart into his performance without ever losing control… I have never heard such a perfect balance between technical perfection and artistic expression.”

- Mohammed Salmawy, prominent Egyptian playwright after performance in Cairo

“No other visiting artist has generated the kind of ecstatic response among   audience members that Avers does, regardless of their experience or relative fame.”

- Stephen Aron, Oberlin Conservatory, Akron University

“when Avers plays,  every preconceived notion of a ‘viable interpretation’  is turned on its side and Avers spreads rays of light on the composition.  For those who are just coming to classical guitar music,  they are treated to rousing and enthusiastic performances…  Never miss a performance by Mr. Avers for the duration of what will be a long and glorious career.”

- Mickey Jones, Presenter, Albuquerque Academy Music Program, Albuquerque Guitar Society

“Avers’ playing can be described as very clean… full of meaningful expression.”     “Liberated and animated… great playing.” (during GFA finals in Buffalo, NY)

- Soundboard Magazine, USA

“It is an understatement to say that Avers was more than equal to the rhythmic complexities and the high drama and nuances that the range of this very powerful work [Concerto de Aranjuez] encompassed.  His control and rhythmic precision were evident, but never inhibiting to his beautifully nuanced playing.”

- John Elliker,  The Times-Reporter, New Philadelphia

“Avers plays with enthusiasm and power backed up by outstanding technical ability.”

- David Russell, Grammy winning guitarist
