Audiophile Audition (05/01/2005):

"This recording is another one of those "gimmick" discs that Tacet is constantly throwing our way, with the end result being some seriously good listening for everyone. The concept here has the violinist, Saschko Gawriloff, playing seven different violins, of different vintages, in a kind of "show-down." All seven violins are used to play the Sarabande movement from Bach′s Partita No. more...

MDR Kultur (01/01/1997):

"Die Firma TACET erfreut uns immer wieder dadurch, daß sie ihrem Namen - auf deutsch: er, sie, es schweigt - keine Ehre macht und glücklicherweise eben nicht schweigt. Im Gegenteil. Was man von diesem Label hört, ist nie falsch gedacht, selten nicht erstklassig musiziert, in jedem Falle exzellent tontechnisch aufgenommen und häufig außerordentlich überraschend im programmatischen Ansatz. more...

Stuttgarter Zeitung (01/01/1997):

"Himmel -
Das muss ein toller Tag gewesen sein, als der Violinist Saschko Gawriloff gleich sieben Schönheiten nacheinander im Arm halten durfte: Amati, Guadagnini, A. Guarneri, P. Guarneri, Horváth, Stradivari und Vuillaume mit Namen. more...
