Press Reviews 'Antonio Olivari is a musician out of Malta and his sound is big enough to cross the continents. There is a certain quality of musicianship that is clearly evident in the music. He has a clear understanding of guitar composition and emotions.' 'I don't think he's ready to be included with the greatest of all time, but he is well on his way. I would expect to hear more from Mr. Olivari.' 'Bottom line: this is a guitarist who deserves some serious recognition.' 'I grew up in a musical household and was lucky enough to witness some great guitar greats such as Eric Clapton, whom my father played with back in the day before he was THE GUITAR GOD he is now. I have heard some of the absolute best and Antonio Olivari is among the best I've ever heard.' from reviews at www.godsofmusic.com
