'As always, it was sheer pleasure to observe Robin Hill's remarkable fluent technique: everything looks easy when he plays it.' Colin Cooper- Classical Guitar Magazine ----- 'Wonderful for their (Hill & Wiltschinsky) precision, touch and clarity of sound... refined virtuosity, the achievement of a long interpretive process.' Il Giornale D'Italia (Rome) ----- 'I loved your CD and thought your technique and performance were fabulous...' Rick Wakeman

Take Five, Spain and MySpace

It's rather a strange experience for me, and for Robin, on this trip.
He is so used to travelling alone, and even has his usual room on Crystal Serenity, but this time is sharing it with son number one.

For me, it's odd to be receiving e mails from both of them, and pictures of my eldest, globetrotting around Europe!

To prove they are both there, here is the official Crystal photograph, of them beside Serenity:



The first two days were spent in Venice, and here he is again, sporting a Crystal t-shirt given as a present from a previous trip:



After a day at sea, they arrived in Katakolon, Greece, and spent a very pleasant time having a good look around.

But it isn't all fun.
Robin has also been working hard. Not only on the programme for his recital in a few days time, but also the new pieces and arrangements for the concerts in Spain, with Izzy Cooper, which are on the 27th and 28th of August.
You can see details of the Spanish concerts, including the official poster, here.

Meanwhile, here at Hillhouse it has also been busy.
I have been very pleased with a number of comments recently over on our MySpace page.
Go and have a look, and if you haven't been there for a while, you'll see there is now another track added, 'Footsteps of the Moai', taken from the new CD, 'Eyes That Talk To The Sky'.
Enjoy.

New Release on CD Baby 'Eyes That Talk To The Sky'

Today I can announce that a new CD has been released on CD Baby.

'Eyes That Talk To The Sky' is now available on CD Baby, with iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, and many others to follow shortly.

This is a very different album, comprising of all original Robin Hill compositions, which have been inspired by Robin's fascination with the island of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island.

As long as I have known Robin he has been intrigued by this curious and enigmatic place, which is reflected in this recording, by lyrical and emotional guitar compositions.

It's the sort of CD that you should put on, sit back, and relax...and after the last few days here at Hillhouse, that is exactly what I shall be doing this evening.
Go over and have a listen to the clips and I hope you enjoy!
