GUITARRA MISTICA (2011)
"Govi has a knack for making music that literally whisks you away to the coast of Spain. With every song he creates, you can imagine the guitarist sitting barefoot in a beach-side, open-air café, playing the guitar as the sun dips on the horizon and waves lap upon the supple sand. GUITARRA MISTICA contains all of the Govi trademarks that fans adore - warm guitars, perky samba rhythms, a languid pace and clear air of romantic abandon. Spanish and Turkish influences waft about in the melodies, with a tinge of rumba in the rhythms. On all songs, the guitar is the central instrument, backed with breezy synthesizer ambience and drum rhythms that are enriched with vibrant percussion sounds to give them depth. Another winner for Govi, and for any guitar music fan looking for an island getaway without having to pay plane fare. - Music Design In Review "
TOUCH OF LIGHT (2008)
"Listening to Govi play his guitar, it's hard not to imagine yourself somewhere warm and exotic. He has a natural knack for creating music that has a strong sense of mood and place; it's very imagery rich with a note of romantic abandon. TOUCH OF LIGHT takes a 'back to basics' approach for the guitarist, who had been moving in more of an ethnic direction with his last couple of albums. Here, he focuses on compositions that are rich and full of the simple joy of Govi's flamenco guitar melodies. It's one of his most appealing albums in years, reminding listeners of why they embraced his music in the first place - the sultry beauty and languid bliss of Govi playing that guitar against a breezy samba backdrop."
ANDALUSIAN NIGHTS (1999)
"You can really tell Govi puts his heart into his work. He produces very beautiful music. Andalusian Nights is a masterpiece. I am happy to have some Govi in my collection. I also own Guitar Odyssey and can recommend that as well."
SEVENTH HEAVEN (2000)
"Govi is without doubt one our finest living composer players of all things stringed. Aptly named, Seventh Heaven is another gem, ten songs without words lyrical yet complex, Latin inspired and unplugged layer upon layer of melody and mystery reward many listenings."
"Seventh Heaven is wholly uplifting. Every cut is at the same highly refined level of artistry. Govi ably conveys the complex emotions associated with Nuevo Flamenco and I listened to it over and over to the neglect of my other music."
MOSAICO (2002)
"This release is superb! If you are a fan of beautifully executed and masterful guitar playing from the heart, get your hands on this disc. Govi and Strunz & Farah are my two favorite 'nouveau flamenco' artists by far. They exude passion and warmth to their playing that not many others can achieve."
