THE WATER IS WIDE

From a small mountain pullout on Highway 75 in Idaho, you can see a tiny slip of a stream shining in the valley below. Within miles, this slight waterway gains strength, ultimately turning into what Native Americans once called the "River of No Return."

Although quiet and measured, the shimmering guitar arrangements of The Water is Wide nonetheless convey the power of nature, of belief, and of art.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US ...
Ken Moore, Staff Writer, Naples Daily News
"Classical guitarists Mark Small and Robert Torres have produced an hour-long album of absolutely beautiful classical music - unadorned music one expects is presented in the way the composers intended.
It is music that will be delightful to people who don't ordinarily attend chamber music performances - and the album's wonderful compositions may even win the hearts and minds of people who shun such music as strained, boring and pretentious. Yet, 'The Water is Wide' will certainly be appreciated by chamber music aficionados.

On the home stereo system, this is an album that simply fills the house with vivid, colorful pieces of classical and contemporary melodies, some featuring the guitar duo of Small and Torres alone, and others with the guitarists accompanied by oboe, flute, English horn and strings,"
