LEIPZIGER VOLKSZEITUNG
[...] the "Strings On Fire" festival once again took place in Leipzigs
Gewandthaus. The Carlos Bica Quintet with [...] masterful violinist Valentin
Gregor was certainly one of the evening’s highlights.

NEUE RHEINZEITUNG
[...] the virtuoso performance of Valentin Gregor on violin fitted superbly
[...] into the exhilarating sound. (Carlos-Bica-Quintett, Domizil Dortmund)

WESTFÄLISCHE NACHRICHTEN
[...] in George Gershwin's "Summertime", "My Funny Valentine" or "All Of Me"
jazz violinist Gregor delivered rousing solos. This was truthfully a Carnival
Of Jazz.
(Carnival Of Jazz, Halle Münsterland)

BONNER RUNDSCHAU
[...] highly demanding arrangements were masterfully performed. This was to a
large part due the play of violinist Valentin Gregor, who delivered
breath-taking improvisations [...] amounting to an acoustic adventure.
(Hans-Hartmann-Trio, Sufi-Soul-Festival, Eifel)

BONNER GENERALANZEIGER
[...] particularly Nicolas Simion and jazz violinist Valentin Gregor engaged
in a musical dialogue, fluidly carrying off where the other left off. Gregor
frequently let the bow glide over the strings with a deftness that elicited
spontaneously applause from the audience on numerous occasions.
(Nicolas Simion Group, Summer of Culture, Klosterruine Marienthal, Ahr)

ECHO AHRWEILER
[...] Valentin Gregor played an instrumental role with his play on violin
[...] in the overall concert experience. The highly inspired, consummate
musician communicated to his instrument [...] he provided evocative
improvisations, one time with rapid sound sequences [...] another time
frugally placed, grooving sound sequences, on occasion playing his instrument
like a guitar.
(Nicolas Simion Group, Summer of Culture, Klosterruine Marienthal, Ahr)
