ARIA Classical Chart. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2003 they won the Best Classical Album category. Their second album, Nostálgica (October 2004), included a similarly diverse range of fare. It reached No. 5 on the ARIA Classical Chart. Göran Forsling of MusicWeb-International described their second album, "Any record covering both Bartók and Deep Purple could with some justification be labelled 'cross-over', but to me it is something else. 'Cross-over' implies that there are borders to cross, and these four eminent musicians see no borders; this is border-less music. Maybe the guitar is the instrument that lends itself most easily to building bridges between genres, styles and times, especially when played as on this disc." In 2005 Antony Field left and was replaced by Leonard Grigoryan – the younger brother of Slava. In September 2006 Saffire issued their third album, Renaissance. They toured in support of the album in October and November.
