"Håkan Johansson ´Ingenting´
is a six-minute solo guitar work with some toecurlingly-sexy
Danish recitation by the gorgeous Gunnel Fred. I haven't a
clue what she was saying but I enjoyed it nevertheless! Christer
Karlbergs four movement ´Suite for David´ is a
very tonal, original too, and wonderful music, as one can
expect from such a wide-ranging performer/composer as Kalberg...
this set is very good indeed, the music is never less then
interesting and on a couple of accessions, brilliantly inventive...
do buy it!"
Classical Guitar
"I never heard such a perfect pitched play on acoustic
guitar in neither classical nor other musical environment...
Here you find tango played with passion, force and humour,
and a totally wonderfully beautiful ´Suite for David´,
especially written to the artist... Everything becomes so
real that you imagine both of them, Sparf and Härenstam,
sitting in your listener's room. How many classical guitar
players are capable, want to and dare offer their public a
repertory filled with so many smiles?"
Värmlands Folkblad
"A man and his guitar. The skill is there. The technique
is perfect. The fingers run totally untroubled along the neck
of the guitar. Not a shadow of technical obstacles. A mastership,
that is. Everything is right. (---) With what do I compare?
Segovia. Williams. They are comparable notabilities when it
comes to performance. This is the level of Härenstam´s:
He knows it all!"
Norrtelje tidning
"This is a CD with very strong profile and atmosphere
with six world premieres!"
