"Italian Guitarist, Flavio Cucchi is well-known in Europe for his guitar interpretations. He was born in Florence, and his wife Marta, who is an artist, does many of his CD jacket designs, although the CD title improperly says "the Ukraine" rather than "Ukraine", the difference being that "the Ukraine" refers to a province of Russia and the former Soviet Union and "Ukraine" signifies the inependent and free Ukraine and its cultural renaissance. Some of the praises about Mr. Cucchi: "One of the best guitarists in Europe" (CD Classica) "...he is a musician of the highest order.He has an incredible facility for speed..he can also provide moments of intense, slow beauty and a passion.."(Classical Guitar) "Flavio Cucchi, certainly one of the most brilliant interpreters in the panorama of the guitar in the last years" (Strumenti e Musica) "An extremely complete musician" (les cahiers de la guitare) "A true virtuoso" (Ham & High)"
