Trio Campanella is regarded as one of the most interesting Scandinavian guitar ensembles.
Enjoying the rich sonority and many undiscovered possibilities offered by three guitars,
Trio Campanella seeks the challenge of expanding the guitar's repertoire with arrangements of musical masterpieces yet unheard on our instrument.
American Record Guide review of Goyescas
American Record Guide has a fine review of the Goyescas-cd:
"These are three virtuoso players with plenty of technique and sensitivity, a trio that plays with a single mind. They are beautifully coordinated in timbre, dynamics, and rhythm. The transcription is by Dejour, and it is so well executed that one can forget the echoes of the piano and enjoy the wider timbral range of the guitars."
Kenneth Keaton (American Record Guide)
New CD out: Goyescas

Trio Campanella's new Naxos release, the first complete recording of Enrique Granados' incredible "Goyescas" featuring guitars, was released in October 2006.
"...this ensemble idea fits the music like a glove, and the sound is divine.
Of equal importance is the quality of the playing. These three musicians play together with the perfection of a Swiss timepiece. The palette of tonal color that they achieve is almost orchestral."
Kevin Sutton (musicweb-international.com)
Suite Iberia

The trio's debut cd (also on Naxos) presented the first complete transcription for guitar of Isaac Albéniz' masterpiece "Iberia".
"…The results are spellbinding. You know you're in for a treat from the very first notes of the opening Evocación. Never was a piece more aptly named - you can close your eyes and see a world coming to life as the trio unfolds Albéniz's richly nuanced harmony. And interpreting Dejour's totally assured arrangement, the trio coaxes a tapestry of textures out of the three guitars, with endlessly varying combinations of arpeggiated and chordal playing, different stroke techniques, harmonics and staccato, and exploiting the timbres of upper and lower registers. The backdrop is consistently sonorous, delicate, subtle and precise."
Matthew Shorter (BBC october 2003)
