“The exciting Hatchet Music guitar series, edited by Matthew Marshall, is an impressive collection to say the least.  The involvement I had with New Zealand composers back in the 1980s pales into insignificance compared to this huge body of work, featuring some of the country's most highly respected composers, and including works for solo guitar, as well as new music in combination with violin, viola, 'cello, flute, harp. The editions themselves are beautifully and clearly presented, with front cover images of stunning New Zealand land and seascapes.”
