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." |
