"More Swedish and a little Uppsala
on one hand. The guitarist David Härenstam offers us
not less than six world premiers on the album The Bard. (---)
Equally skilful as beautifully played (---) Uplifting CD,
with the exact right proportion tango as well!"
UNT
"This is a colourful debut breathing self-confidence
and whets your appetite. (---) Härenstam plays with a
sensitive colour gamut (---) a presence that rarely disappears."
Nya Wermlands tidningen
"The young David Härenstam breaks the solitude of
the classical guitar player collaborating with combinations
of musicians (---) Some of the most pleasant pieces of the
CD are two by Franz Liszt, where accordion and guitar are
united in a wondrous minimalistic arrangement. Tango, samba,
waltz - fulfilled with ideas of the un-orthodox kind, not
to say brave, is carrying the production together with the
strong centre of the guitar playing of Härenstam - pregnant
and varied!"
SvD
"Some CDs just gives you that euphoria to lend your ears
to. He is a master in guitar playing. The Bard is a ´must
have´ for all lovers of acoustic guitar music, ya´
bet ya´!!!"
Lira
"(---) extreme jumps between heartbreakingly beautiful
melodies, wonderfully played, and awkward, rhythmical ostinato,
deliciously performed. It's alive, breathing, technically
perfect.
