Classical Guitar Magazine - 'Hayward is a skilful and unpretentious arranger with an ear to material that fits the guitar well. He's not out to dazzle us with impossible fingerings, though he is clearly a very skilled player. Rather he understands the charm and power of simplicity.’

Soundboard Magazine - 'Refined playing...extraordinarily pretty.'

Südwest Presse - 'Rossini Hayward shows a mastery that both amazes and perplexes.'
