"“Throughout the concert, the brothers played as if they were one... This was two people, four hands, one mind.”"

"“...it’s not hard to imagine that acoustic guitar music, when in the hands of masters like Sergio and Odair Assad, becomes a musical window to the heart.”"

"“This is the greatest guitar duo in the world thanks to their perfect integration, a two-in-one fit, and a sense of purpose.”"

"“There is a kind of magic in the way Sérgio and Odair Assad play… they produce a unified, supple, and flawless sound.”"

"“Because they have played together since very young and perform everything from memory, there is a lively interaction between them that gives the impression they are improvising—like two virtuosos, perhaps even telepathic, jazz musicians.”"

"“…the best guitar duo performing today—perhaps in history… no expectation could have prepared me for the brothers’ supple daring and their astonishing unanimity of sound.”"

"“As performers, they play like the close brothers they are. They instantly pick up each other’s cues, respond almost intuitively, and seem to operate on the same system. What projects outward is a kind of ‘super-guitar’: two instruments and a single brain.”"

"“It can be called one of the season’s most engaging musical performances. Better yet: a dazzling showcase of music from the Western Hemisphere.”"

"“They are not just soloists, but a two-person band with multiple voices, playing together instinctively, with consistent rhythmic intuition and soul.”"

"“The Assads’ virtuosity left the many guitarists in the audience—me included—utterly amazed. The speed, the beautiful tone, the impressive musical memory (no score onstage), and the ability to execute thousands of notes without a single slip are the domain of the guitar gods… an inspiring concert that celebrated the sweeping energy of musical phrases and the irresistible beauty of the sound of two guitars.”"

"“…Sérgio and Odair, two of the greatest guitarists on the planet.”"

"“The Assad brothers, born in Brazil, perform with an almost telepathic unity.”"
