"With a rare elegance, Mr Bensusan measures every detail of tone, articulation and counterpoint in pieces that covered a lot of geography. The sounds he makes are ravishing. "
- The New York Times

Algerian-born, Paris-raised guitarist Pierre Bensusan has been called "...an acoustic visionary, who combines sensibility with shadings of ethereal jazz, pop, ethnic and classical melodies with a feel to soothe and remove the listener to a warm, luxurious mindset. Absolutely stunning." (Winnepeg Sun) Bensusan plays with passion, soul, intensity, and a rhythmic complexity that mark even his quietest and most elegant pieces, establishing him as a compelling concert performer and a stellar contributor to worldwide music festivals. Bensusan can generate real excitement and drama with his solo work through intriguing melodies, rich ornamentation, and sheer dexterous intrepidity.
