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)
