The Boston Globe has described him as ìa fleet-fingered and musicianly performerî and has characterized his playing asÖîunleashing so many different varieties of tone and color in quick successionÖa kind of aural iridescence.î John, whose live performances are often featured on WGBH Radios Classical Performances with host Richard Knisely, has recorded for Albany and Arabesque Records. His recent, critically-acclaimed solo CD, Shadow Box, has been hailed by Britain's Classical Guitar magazine as "a fine recording with serious intent."
