"These arrangements resonated strongly with the
audience, and captured the essence of the songs much
better then many Taiwanese artists."

- National United Newspaper: Tainan,Taiwan

"Without exception, all of these songs are excellent in their own right and have been exceptionally well arranged by Nathan Kolosko who plays all the four pieces on the accompanying CD. Throughout these pages the music runs through a range of emotions: bitterness, joy, tragedy, humour, sadness and all done in the highest possible taste. Songs From Formosa is an absolutely delightful new release and one I can thoroughly recommend to any player of at least Grade 7 seeking new stylish, attractive repertoire."
Steve Marsh - Classical Guitar, September 2008

    " ... these five brief studies are imaginative in their construction and are a most welcome addition to the intermediate student repertoire. Each one has a specific didactic purpose in mind and all are quite attractive on the ear. "
