Release  from the distribution: Nov. 2nd

Words for the press..    Cover (jpg)..

Appleton Post Crescen - Wisconsin (USA): "I'd like to believe that I know from the spare arrangements on Marius Noss Gundersen's "To You that this solo guitarist was a Norwegian. He has the sound of the snow-covered landscape out my window as I write this just after the big December 9 storm. Even after battling the drifts with El Toro (the REd Bull), I an still appreciate the beauty of the fluff stuff, and with Marius' superb CD on the stereo, I feel very much at peace with Mother Nature...even if she did just try to kill me again.."Gerry Grzyb Read more..

Christmasreviews.com (USA): Blissful selection by Norwegian guitarist Read more..

The Newspaper Vårt Land: Marius Noss Gundersen and his guitar, no one else. What pieacefulness it brings us. The CD is released through a jazz-label, but is leaning towards the classical genre rather than jazz.
