“Chwastyk remains true to his romantic sensibility, and that is precisely what distinguishes his interpretation. Brilliantly played, with great breath, full of devotion, Llobet’s Cançons populars catalanes and Albéniz’s Suite española can be rediscovered.”
Stefan Sell, Crescendo
“Chwastyk plays it with astonishing fluidity and suppleness, making each number very characteristic by fully exploiting the tonal possibilities of the guitar. With colourful and dynamic nuances as well as accents, with sensitive rubato and, as always with him, very good breathing, he succeeds in a grandiose interpretation of the suite.”
Remy Franck, Pizzicato
Two virtuosos of a new generation, the bandoneonist Omar Massa and the concert guitarist Jerzy Chwastyk, fascinated the audience from the very first moment at this recital of the 15th Bandoneon Festival in Krefeld.
To the applause from the audience, the Argentinian bandoneonist and the Polish guitarist performed Libertango with all the warmth, vigour and intensity that this dazzling work by Piazzolla demands, with its particular synergy of sounds and images.”Juan Carlos Tellechea, Mundoclasico
“One has seldom heard the Canciones Populares of Miguel Llobet with more sensitivity, tonal beauty or even intimacy. Also the well-known Suite
española by Albéniz is interpreted by Chwastyk with a lyrical elegance, as if the Catalan composer were a descendant of Chopin.”Jens Müller, guitar acoustic Magazine
