Review

Whoever said a harmonica should stay home on the range hasn't heard of Robert Bonfiglio. A virtuoso artist of rare musical gifts, Robert Bonfiglio's latest release Romances is a collection of classical and popular melodies performed with a symphony orchestra, harp and guitar. Listeners are treated to the music by Debussy, Mozart, Chopin, Ravel and Sondheim... ~ MusD, All Music Guide
