Comments from the press
”…you certainly have the ability to captivate the listener with your playing. Along with all the beautiful sweet sounds, I especially appreciate the way you allow there to be silence when the music calls for it. There are not many players who can or will dare to do that.”
Prof. Göran Söllscher, Malmö
”...concentration in repertoire. Wiklund’s phrasing is often lingering and with more Swedish melancholy than Latin pulse. This puts ”lento” into Walton’s bagatelles, which makes them taste like Satie.
Sara Norling, Dagens Nyheter
”...beautifully packaged recording…the ”5” idea holds together very well throughout the disc, Wiklund’s tone is warm and beautiful…Wiklund’s interpretations are generally clean, clear and unfussy…it was good to hear Piazzolla’s five pieces played in a confident, rhythmic way, making a fitting conclusion to a creditable recording.”
Raymond Burley, Classical Guitar
”...an impressive production, very beautifully produced – the quality of engineering, the sound and the presentation – congratulations!”
Prof. Robert Brightmore, England
