The select discography has received rave reviews in the press, “Innovative, powerful, one of the most refreshing and original (guitar CD) collections” Kilvingtown, Classical Guitar Magazine, UK.
Other guitar performers have expressed great excitement about Avril’s compositions, “Beautiful piece! well played and a very inspiring approach to modern composition with traditional folk influences! Well done 5 stars!’ Marek Pasieczny says of Avril Kinsey’s Mokoro (Song of the Water).
“Ingenious and evocative, the result of a fertile imagination … a master musician of unusual ability.” Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar Magazine UK.
The recording of Avril’s 30 minute Fynbos Suite for 2 guitars and 6 voices formed part of Avril’s doctoral portfolio. It was created with the intention of global responsibility to nature, to save and preserve our planet, and highlight the importance of nature within all our lives.
Several movements are dedicated to significant classical guitarists of the 21st Century, Antigoni Goni (Belgium), Sharon Isbin (USA), Dimitris Kotronakis (Greece), Newman and Oltman (USA), Kupinsky Duo (Poland), and Dr Gregory Newton (USA).
This important new large scale chamber work is inspired by the bio-diversity of South Africa’s Cape fynbos biome and its sensitive eco-system, as expressed in the fine art oil paintings of award winning artist Steven Felmore whose work inspired the creation of the music: stevenfelmore.com
