"Candice Mowbray plays in a sensitive cantabile style and she presented a thoughtfully crafted program of mostly late 20th century and contemporary lyrical guitar pieces offset by a legendary composition by Fernando Sor...It was an enriching, moving and enchanting experience"–Marlow Serenades Concert patron

"I just listened to Reverie! To say that it is good is an understatement...This is a labor of love that spares no effort and delivers a wonderful variety of repertoire at the highest level. One of the best things is just wondering what will happen next. Emotion, precision, nuance, passion, it's all there in spades. Bravo!"–Tobias Hurwitz, guitarist

"I just have to tell you what a joy it is to listen to your latest CD, Reverie. The quality of the production is outstanding and it truly captures not only your brilliant technique, but the innuendoes and subtleties of interpretation that make your live performances so outstanding. What a gift you have - and how lucky are we with whom you have chosen to share that gift."–Harry Grandinett, novelist

​

"There is a free and easy quality to [Rêverie] that is very expressive and well suits the music." –Mike Kirkpatrick, Kirkpatrick Guitar Studio
