Editorial Reviews
Reviewer: k2 yankee
One of the best acoustic guitar releases I've ever heard in the past 30 years.

Product Description
"Take These Hands" shows Paul's musical range and mastery of the guitar going well beyond surf music. Originally slated to be an instrumental surf guitar album, Johnson and Golly Gee Records made a prayerfully guided decision to record a collection of original works and classic Spiritual songs. "Take These Hands" appeals to those who appreciate masterful guitar work as well as classic hymns, gospel and contemporary worship songs. With this release, Paul is poised to broaden his audience considerably within the world of Christian music.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars A century of British art songs to delight those who love them.......2006-06-26

These 53 songs have been collected by Naxos from their extensive acquisitions from Collins Classics, and perhaps other British sources now out of business. There's a steady cottage industry, year after year, producing the typical English art song, which is usually based on folk songs, but even in more modern idioms is profuondly conservative and nostaligic. Half these songs, not to mention half the composers, are totally unknown to American audiences, but the familiar names of Vaughan Williams and Britten represent high quality, and the lesser lights, such as Warlock and Quilter, are mainstays in this repertoire.

I'd challenge all but the most addicted listener to make it through more than ten songs at a sitting, and many of these pieces are tepid, offering comfort rather than inspiration. The singers are among the best, but Graham Johnson and Steuart Beford, who do most of the accompaniments, are lackluster. I know that won't be a popular comment, yet if you compare any of these songs with rendiitons done by Janet Baker, John Shirley-quirk, and most recently Bryn Terfel and Ian Bostridge, you immediately notice how much more intensity and drama is pesent than htis colleciton reveals.
