Whether playing in smoked-filled rock clubs or performing in classical concert halls, guitarist Peter Xifaras successfully crosses over musical boundaries with great versatility. His debut classical cross-over CD, Appassionáto, captured the #1 spot on NAV's Airwaves Top 100 Chart four consecutive times while remaining on the chart for an entire year.
Peter has also been named one of the top radio artists of 2000 in the Nov/Dec issues of NAV magazine.
"He combines delicate single-note melodies with harmonics, and intersperses chords with quick, melodic classical runs that fit together with tremendous cohesion.."
-Guitar Player Magazine
"..I must also confess to an unfathomable desire to listen to the symphonic rock classic "Close To the Edge" by Yes almost every time I listen to Appassionáto. And yes Martha that is a very good thing.."
-WWSP 90FM (Steven G. Berndt)
"..With a technique that is both clean and confident, Peter Xifaras is truly a classically-oriented guitarist for the new millennium.."
-Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine
"..[this] is also pretty sexy stuff. Sambuca Records may wish to consider labeling CDs with a winking warning: 'Caution, the music of Peter Xifaras may lead to heavy petting..'"
